Your retail business is your passion, and it’s important to ensure you’re following all rules and regulations when it comes to how you run things. Stacks knows how important your business is to you, and are here to help you in all aspects of retail industry law.
The laws and regulations affecting the retail industry are constantly evolving and it is important to ensure that your business remains compliant. These include laws relating to the manufacture, distribution, sale and promotion of goods and services.
The Competition and Consumer Act 2010 covers the rules around fair trading and competition in Australia. The Act also contains the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), setting out the national rules around product safety and labelling, sales practices, and consumer rights and guarantees. Retail trading hours are regulated in NSW by industrial relations under the Retail Trading Act 2008.
