On the 13 and 20 October 2015, two of our CCLSWA solicitors, Gemma Mitchell and Curtis Ward, together with volunteer paralegal Nadia-Rose Agnello, presented to consumer law students at the University of Western Australia. Students learned about the service’s two main practice areas – the National Credit Code and Australian Consumer Law – and how to apply these legislative provisions in a real-life context.
 
Topics covered included:
 

• Responsible lending;
• Financial hardship;
• Payday loans;
• Unsolicited consumer agreements;
• Consumer guarantees; and
• Unfair contract terms

 
Many thanks to our three presenters for their hard work in preparing for the lectures, which were extremely well-received by the students.
