TRADE PRACTICES

 

The Trade Practices Act provides remedies for consumer protection in certain circumstances.  Most significantly, if a company engages in misleading and deceptive conduct which causes you to suffer loss then you may be entitled to compensation.

Also, if a company takes unfair advantage of a vulnerable consumer that conduct may be unconscionable and give rise to a claim for compensation.  Restrictions also apply to a companies ability to engage in anti-competitive or restrictive trade practices in relation to which the ACCC has jurisdiction.

If you feel that you may have entitlements arising from those provisions then you should discuss your matter with us.

 

DEBT RECOVERY

If you are owed money then we can assist whether it be simply writing a letter of demand or commencing proceedings in a Court to obtain an enforceable judgment. We can advise you as to the best way to try to pursue payment of a debt including appropriate enforcement action which might include enforcement warrants to seize and sell property, an order to redirect earnings from the employer of a person who owes you money directly to you, enforcement hearings, bankruptcy and winding up companies.
