Assessment
Additional details
- Assignment (20%): Students will complete a 1,000 word assignment, which will be due in accordance with the assessment schedule. This assignment will be based on a case already studied in contract or torts and will require students to assess the rights and remedies arising in respect of this case under the primary consumer protection legislation in Australia, the Australian Consumer Law. The assignment will require students to independently engage with the consumer protection regime in Australia and to reflect on the policy behind this regime and the connections between the regime and the substantive legal doctrines already studied in subjects such as contracts, torts and obligations;
- 5,000 words take home exam (80%): A take home exam will ensure that students are assessed on a representative range of topics and also have the opportunity to draw on empirical and theoretical material for assessing various consumer protection initiatives.
The due date of the above assessment will be available to students via the Assessment Schedule on the LMS Community.
