What will the seminar cover?
In a not to be missed presentation the speakers address the issues in ASIC v Kobelt in the form of a court submission. They will provide the context of the case and identify issues that are open to future litigation. Some topics that will be addressed include:
- The High Court’s characterisation of the book-up credit system & the manner in which it was offered.
- Relevance of the Anangu customers’ perception of the credit system, reflecting aspects of Anangu culture not found in mainstream Australian society.
- Voluntariness in the context of the system of conduct in question, including the customers’ vulnerability and the cultural impacts.
- Relevance of “moral obloquy” in determining unconscionable conduct within the meaning of s 12CB ASIC Act.
- An examination of the majority and minority reasons and the application of Kobelt in recent cases.
- Hypothesising the potential reach of the High Court’s decision.
