Commerce Commission releases unfair contract terms guidelines

The Commerce Commission has published the final version of its Unfair Contract Terms Guidelines which set out the approach the Commerce Commission will take to enforcing the new unfair contract terms provisions of the Fair Trading Act 1986.

There is still time for businesses to amend their contracts to avoid potentially unfair terms before the provisions come into effect on 17 March 2015, but this time is running out.
