Consumer Protection Law in Australia Patterson Cheney Case
Question
On 10 March 2011 the ACCC accepted an undertaking under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010(Cth) from Patterson Cheney Pty Ltd in relation to alleged misrepresentations made by the Victorian car retailer. Outline in your own words the history of this matter (briefly) and discuss why the ACCC took action against Patterson Cheney and detail what particular section of the law the ACCC alleged Patterson Cheney breached (including the ACL equivalent provision).
Discuss also:
1. Whether you agree that the ACCC should have taken action against Patterson Cheney and why (for example, whether the ACCC or rather a competitor of Patterson Cheney should have taken action, and what social good the ACCC was trying to achieve with this action); and
2. Whether in your opinion the way the matter was resolved (ie, by undertaking) is beneficial for the protection of Australian consumers and why (You should also refer to other cases to illustrate your argument here).

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is a body that takes action against those companies which misguide consumers into buying products or services with false promises or warranties. This question is about the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s action against Patterson Cheney which breached one of the laws of Trade Practices Act of 1974 which bars a corporation from selling goods or services under a false or misleading information.

In my final year research paper wanted to do a study on consumer behavior but was confused on how to identify a topic and write a report. The management assignment experts here at TheReliableTutor had an online live session with me and after understanding my requirements they came up with three suggested Research Proposal Writing topics.

1. As my parents are both cost accountants, I thought that accounting is my blood. However, everything is not that easy as I often failed to match my trial balance and was finding it problematic to write my cash-flow statements. I knew I need assistance apart from the help that I get from my accounting professor. So when I saw TheReliableTutor.com, I was happy as they helped me solve my accounting homework. I even got good grades now.

Standard of nursing is different in different countries and for that reason getting a country specific nursing assignment help was important for me. What we are being taught in the Canadian universities like Alberta or Ontario is totally different than what is being taught down south in the United States. Luckily, HwA has nursing experts who belong to the country and are aware of the practices here in Canada. I got immense help from them as far as my nursing assignments are concerned and will definitely recommend them to my friends.

I am pursuing my masters in finance management from the Singapore Management University. Even though I have a clear idea of most of the concepts of finance from my undergraduate days, I was still looking for some guidance and help with my finance assignment. I had benefited greatly during my undergraduate days from the online finance tutor at TheReliableTutor so I decided to contact them again and since then have not looked back.

I must say that the random variable assignment experts here in HwA can surely make the numbers talk. I was given a sheet of data to analyze and honestly I had no clue whatsoever on how to approach. When I came to them they explained me the concept of discrete random variables (as the data was of an outcome of random test on some microorganism) and helped me analyze the same. My teacher at college was very impressed and since then I take help from HwA.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
