Australian Consumer Law
Australian Consumer Law (ACL) is a national law that protects consumers in Australia. It provides rights and guarantees for consumers when they buy goods and services, ensuring that products are safe, fit for purpose, and as described. The law also prohibits unfair trading practices, such as false advertising and misleading conduct.
The ACL is enforced by various agencies, including the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). Consumers can seek remedies if their rights are violated, such as refunds, repairs, or replacements. Overall, the ACL aims to create a fair marketplace for both consumers and businesses.
