Restrictive Trade Practices Act 1971

 

Summary

Replaced the Trade Practices Act 1965 . This largely stemmed from the High Court decision in Strickland v Rocla Concrete Pipes Ltd (1971) 124 CLR 468 relating to the constitutional powers of the Commonwealth Government in relation to foreign and tradeing or financial corporations and was largely a re-enactment of the Trade Practices Act 1965.
