Australian Consumer Law Seminar – last chance to register

Baker & McKenzie and Communications Alliance invite its members to a lunchtime seminar on Tuesday 11 May 2010 about the specific implications of the new Australian Consumer Law for the telecommunications and content sectors.

James Halliday, Partner, Baker & McKenzie will provide an overview of the new Australian Consumer Law as it relates to the telecommunications and content sectors followed by Sarah Court, ACCC Commissioner, who will outline the ACCC's approach to the enforcement of the new laws.

There will be a panel discussion with Page Henty, Corporate Counsel, AUSTAR Entertainment Pty Ltd, John Horan, General Counsel, Primus Telecommunications and Bill Gallagher, General Counsel - Public Policy & Communications, Telstra Corporation Ltd.

The panel will discuss the industry’s views on the impact of the new law, the changes it will bring about, and the specific actions that need to be taken by participants in the telecommunications and content sectors both before and following the introduction of the Australian Consumer Law.
