In fact, Aussie Clothes sold the items on discounted price to the customers and gain profit.

    Clean Machines Company is correct that no contract exists. The governing law in this case is the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) due to the items in question being goods that if there was a contract would be severable by the seller (pg. 359). Clean Machines Company offered to sell Dealers Appliance Outlet washing machines for a price over the phone, keeping the offer open for ninety days. Clean Machines Company did not incur any legal detriment in the offer and thus, no consideration was valid.

    Many accounts of theft and damage to goods were reported in various Sydney newspapers.

    Question 1 Before determining whether or not Slackbridge is guilty of the charge, it is important to determine whether the offence committed here is one of absolute or strict liability. To do such, it is important to examine the criteria for distinguishing between strict and absolute liability of regulatory offences, particularly pertaining to the language of the legislation. According to Justice MacPherson, by stating “no person shall” in the language of the legislation, it points to absolute liability, likewise, this is also applies to the Retail Sales Act for retailers. Therefore, if one were to follow this, Slackbridge would have absolute liability, and thus, be guilty of the charge; however, a problem could arise as Slackbridge could…

    It is irrefutable that, to a considerable extent, legal and non-legal actions are effective in administering justice for consumers. Consumer law has continually evolved in order to maintain its ability to protect consumers within the ever-changing modern marketplace - progressing from the common law notion of caveat emptor to an intensive legal framework recognising the fundamental need for consumer protections. While much of this contemporary framework - comprised of statutory bodies, law courts and tribunals, and working in conjunction with a myriad of other non-legal avenues - is highly effective in its delivery of justice, there remain areas of concern currently inadequate in safeguarding rights. Thus, although legal and non-legal measures…
