Consumer laws |
The Standing Committee of Officials on Consumer Affairs (SCOCA) seeks the views of stakeholders on the further development of the Australian Consumer Law. The draft Regulation Impact Statements (RIS) included in this paper set out options for:
- reform proposals in the ACL which amend the provisions of the TPA based on best practice in existing state and territory consumer laws
- implementing the recommendations of the Productivity Commission´s (PC) Review of Australia´s Consumer Product Safety System as part of the ACL.
In releasing these draft RISs, SCOCA is seeking views on:
- the content of the draft RISs, in particular the analysis of the potential costs and benefits for these reform proposals or options for the proposals
- information about any additional costs or benefits to proposals or options for the proposals, so as to better inform the analysis contained in the decision-making RISs to be considered by Ministers on 4 December 2009
- any other issues relevant to these proposals.
Views received as a result of this consultation will be considered in the finalisation of the RISs that will be presented to Ministers for decision at their 4 December 2009 Ministerial Council on Consumer Affairs meeting.
The proposals do not represent agreed policies of the Australian Government or of any State or Territory government. Submissions closed on 27 November 2009.
