Her dealings were with Phillip, the sales manager of Star Properties Ltd. Her plan was to demolish the house and build four small townhouses on the land; one to live in, one for her sister to live in and two for sale. Joyce had little experience at property development and prior to purchasing the land she explained her plans to Phillip. She asked Phillip whether she would have any problems gaining a permit to build four townhouses. Phillip said to her, “You won’t have any problems”. Joyce again stated her needs in relation to the land, and suggested that perhaps she should discuss her plans with her architect before proceeding with the purchase. Phillip reassured her that everything would be fine. He told her that he was a property agent, had bought and sold land in the area for many years, and that he was very well informed about building laws and council regulations. Satisfied by this, Joyce signed a contract of sale to buy the house for $500,000. No mention of her requirements for a permit to build four townhouses was made in the written contract. The contract did however contain a clause that said: “Entire Contracts Clause:  The written contract contains the entire agreement between the parties. Any other statements made by agents or employees of the company or included in advertising material are of no effect unless they are included in this written agreement.” After discussions with the local council, Joyce has now learned that the council will only grant a permit to build two townhouses instead of the four she had planned. Joyce approaches you for advice in relation to the above matter. She has had the house valued and discovered it is now estimated to be worth only $450,000. She has also discovered that land in the area satisfying council requirements for four townhouses is difficult to find and would cost at least $750,000. 1. Advise Joyce of her contractual rights against Star Properties Ltd in relation to the purchase of the house. Your response should comprehensively discuss all of the contractual principles involved including an estimate of damages. Support your answer with reference to at least two (2) court cases. 2. Discuss the application of the Australian Consumer Law to this situation. Are there any other non-contractual remedies available to Joyce in this situation? 3.

Question 17 Not yet answered Marked out of 20.00 Flag question Question text Jenna entered Buntings Pty Ltd shop. She said to the salesperson, “Look, I am going climbing in the Himalayas and I need a suitable sleeping bag. I’ll be there in the climbing season, but I’ll be attempting several 7,000 metre peaks so the sleeping bag needs to be waterproof, and also very warm, as the temperature falls at night to around -30 degrees Celsius. What have you got?” The salesperson showed Jenna three sleeping bags, one of which was manufactured by X-Treme Sports Ltd. While the salesperson was called away, Jenna selected X-Treme Sport’s sleeping bag and paid the cashier $750. Jenna went to the Himalayas and suffered frost-bite because the sleeping bag was totally inadequate. In fact, it was designed for use in milder climates. When Jenna returned she hobbled into Buntings Pty Ltd store and demanded an explanation and compensation. The store manager said: “It’s not our problem. You selected the sleeping bag and what’s more the sign at the cashier’s desk clearly states that Buntings Pty Ltd shall not be liable for any damages except for the replacement of goods proved to be faulty at the time of sale.” Jenna remembered reading the sign at the time she bought the sleeping bag. a. Does Jenna have any action against Buntings Pty Ltd for damages under the ACL Explain your answer and include at least one (1) case reference. b. Would it make any difference to your answer in (a) above if Jenna had been an expert climber with many years of experience, and this fact was known to the salesperson? c. What are Jenna’s rights against the manufacturer

Q11
Misleading or deceptive conduct (often referred to as misleading conduct) is an Australian law doctrine. Section 18 of the Australian Consumer Law, which is laid down in schedule 2 of the Competition and
Consumer Act 2010, forbids conduct in commerce or trade that is deceptive or disappointing, misleading or likely to deceive, or mislead businesses. The main purpose of this doctrine is to protect the customer by stopping corporations from misleading their clients. It does, however, cover all conditions of trade or commerce. In the case of misleading or deceptive conduct, a variety of remedies are available
Butcher v Lachlan Elder Realty Pty Ltd (2004) 218 CLR 592
Q12
Rescission is a remedy made available when it is inherently corrupted to the underlying reason for making a contract. The very reason why the other party first made the agreement is compromised by such actions on behalf of the contracting party. At the option of the affected party, the contract can be rescinded.
The rescission solution includes the reservation of a full contract.
It's treated as if it was never made for legal purposes. It's never happened.
The purpose of the rescission is:-
The parties reversed whatever was done by concluding the deal.
The parties shall be placed back in their roles, as though the contract had never been entered into. This is the state of affairs
it's treated as "non-existing".
Q13
Yeah, it can be regarded by the real estate agent as a breach of the contract condition.
A contractual condition means an integral part of the contract without which the contract's performance will be deemed to be incomplete. A contract clause can be called a requirement if the enforcement of the contract clause is necessary. Their value can be measured by the fact that the negotiating party would not have been entered into a contract if such a provision had not been enforced.
As specified here the contractual requirements have not been met and can be represented as an infringement of the terms of the "contractual breach" clause. Therefore the real estate agent is not bound by the contract anymore.
Q14
Yes, because of the "supervening impossibility of performance of the contract" the lease contract is terminated.
Supervening impossibility:-
If due to the non-control of both the promiser and the promisee, the contract cannot be fulfilled, such a case is referred to as a Supervening...
