Download or read book The Australian Trade Practices Act 1974 written by D.K. Round and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a collection of papers which evaluate the achievements of the Australian Trade Practices Act 1974 in making Australian markets more competitive. The contributors have all played major roles in Australian and New Zealand antitrust actions, either as expert economic witnesses, as antitrust enforcers, as judges or as quasi-judicial administrators. No other publication presents such in-depth economic analysis of the Act and the cases decided under it in its first two decades of its operation. As well as an introductory paper, this collection includes a foreword by the Hon. George Gear, Assistant Treasurer of the Australian Government and Minister responsible for the administration of the Act, plus two broad analytical overviews of the last two decades of Australian antitrust actions by two economists who have continually been at the heart of antitrust proceedings. In addition, papers are provided which give a judicial view of the Act and economic analysis, which compare the Act with its New Zealand counterpart. Other contributions look in detail at those sections of the Act which cover mergers, misuse of market power, price-fixing and vertical practices. The book shows that the Act has had a major impact on Australian market behavior. Judges, lawyers and economists between them have produced a truly Australian approach to antitrust, which has reflected overseas trends in both law and economics, as well as developed a unique Australian flavor. The book will be of interest to academic and practicing lawyers and economists, judges and corporate executives. It will be essential reading for Australian students in undergraduate courses in antitrust law, business regulation, antitrust economics and industrial organization. It provides by far the most comprehensive economic evaluation of Australian antitrust yet published and so will be the definitive source of information on this topic for non-Australians interested in comparative antitrust legislation and enforcement issues.

Download or read book Consumer redress for misleading and aggressive practices written by Great Britain: Law Commission and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011-04-12 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 (the Regulations) prohibit misleading and aggressive trade practices. The Regulations implemented a European directive, replacing 23 previous UK consumer protection measures, including most of the Trade Descriptions Act 1968. They are enforced mainly by the Office of Fair Trading and by trading standards services. Under current law, consumers do not have a right to compensation if a trader breaches the Regulations. Instead consumers must rely on a variety of private causes of action: some statutory, some based on case law. These are complex, confusing and patchy. This Consultation Paper aims to: (1) simplify redress for misleading commercial practices; (2) simplify redress for aggressive commercial practices; and (3) fill gaps in protection, where a consumer is unable to gain redress for serious breaches of the Regulations.
Download or read book Transport Law in Australia written by John Livermore and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2023-08-20 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Livermore’s succinct monograph provides a useful overview of Australian transport law, as of July 2017...This is a readable and useful publication which provides a good summary of Australian transport law. Simon Baughen, Professor of Shipping Law, Swansea University /Artho Cyraith Llongau. Extract from full review of the 3rdedition in Journal of International Maritime Law, January 2020 Transport Law in Australia is a clear and well researched resource covering all modes of transport. It should be the first port of call for logistic professionals, transport lawyers and students when seeking to understand the legalities of transport in Australia. Russell Wiesse, Director CTG Law This updated edition of Transport Law in Australia describes the main sources of transport law, jurisdiction and courts, state immunity, and the legal role of transport intermediaries. The scope of the book is broad in that it encompasses maritime, road, rail, air, and multimodal transport law. Almost half the book is devoted to maritime and shipping law which, for an island nation with over 95% of its international trade carried by sea, is as important as it is unsurprising. Whilst works of this nature have the potential to be a ‘dry’ read, in this case the author has taken an approach which makes the book eminently readable and usable. The text is well supported by in-depth research and enhanced with comprehensive referencing, footnotes, tables of cases and statutes, as well as a selected bibliography. With Australian society and the economy vitally dependent on all modes of transport this book will be a valuable addition for many in the transport community. This includes transport operators, shippers and freight forwarders, transport regulators and lawyers, as well as academics, researchers and students engaged in the study of transport. The author’s practical and masterful approach to the subject should go a long way to ensuring the success of Transport Law in Australia as well as being a valuable addition to the body of literature on this important topic. Barrie Lewarn, Professor, Australian Maritime College, National Centre for Ports and Shipping, University of Tasmania Review of the 2nd edition of Transport Law in Australia
Download or read book The Law of Geographical Indications written by Bernard O'Connor and published by Cameron May. This book was released on 2004 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over time, a product made in a specific place can develop a unique reputation. This reputation is often due to special characteristics present in the place: its people, its climate and its landscape. There are thousands of examples. In the food and drinks sector there are fruits and vegetables, wines, cheeses and cured meats: Champagne; Chedder, Parma ham and Tipperary turnips. In manufacturers there are Persian carpets, Murano glass, Toledo steel and Japanese electronics. Should all these reputations be protected by law and if so how? This book "The Law of Geographical Indications" addresses these questions. The book examines what names can and cannot be protected in national and international law and the nature of the protection given. In the last years there has been a rapid expansion of the protection given to geographical indications. The book looks at the specific systems adopted in some countries and the general systems in others. Protection is most developed in Europe and specific attention is given to the rules in the European Union and the bilateral agreements the EU has forged with many third countries. The book also examines protection in international law from the 1883 Paris Convention on the protection of intellectual property in general to the more recent TRIPs Agreement in the WTO. Also examined are the two most controversial legal issues surrounding the protection of geographical indications, namely, conflicts between trademarks and geographical indications and the generic character of certain names.
Download or read book Letters of Comfort written by Anton P. Trichardt and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 751 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the first thoroughgoing analysis of the contractual effect of letters of comfort as it appears in both common law and civil law systems. The commentary draws on cases from a wide variety of jurisdictions and on the full range of legal scholarship on the subject in several languages. Among the specific issues and topics raised along the way are the following: the typology of letters of comfort; the legal nature of letters of comfort; the use of letters of comfort in corporate group and banking practice; the economic explanation for the use of letters of comfort; the contractual effect of letters of comfort in French law; ‘ten commandments’ of letters of comfort; Clearly evoking the tension between business needs, the law, and judicial application, the book analyses what happens when the relationship between a lender and a creditor breaks down, or the latter becomes insolvent, and courts or arbitrators are asked to determine the legal status of a comfort letter. This is an area of practice in which lawyers in any field of business activity are inevitably concerned, and in which useful guidance is scarce. For this reason this detailed analysis will be very welcome.
