A weapon against bullies

Article Abstract:

The two sections of the Trade Practices Act that deal with unconscionability are section 51AA, which a general prohibition against unconscionable act, and section 51AC, focusing more specifically on supply arrangements between businesses. Unconscionable conduct, which has long been recognized as a serious problem for the economy as a whole, can be remedied by an action against the perpetrator and any other person involved in the contravention, and by obtaining compensatory orders, probation orders, community service orders and publication orders.
