Australian Competition and Consumer Law Reporter
First published almost 30 years ago under the name Australian Trade Practices Reporter, this service was re-badged in January 2011 as Australian Competition and Consumer Law Reporter.
This reporter provides a practical and comprehensive explanation of the new competition and consumer law and its implications for business and consumers, together with the full text of all the appropriate legislation, and a specialised case reporting service.

Key features
