Question 1 - Australian Consumer Law - 30 marks Maya has recently moved to Australia from Spain. Her spoken English is exceptional, but she does not read or write English terribly well, and she has little experience in the way business is conducted in Australia. Maya ran a successful catering business in Barcelona and is now in the process of establishing a similar business here in Australia. She approaches Harry to negotiate the supply by Beez R Us of honey for her business. During the negotiations, Harry realises how little Maya understands Australian business practices, and convinces her to agree to pay much more for his honey than he charges similar customers. He tells her that it is unusual for Australian businesses negotiating such an arrangement to use legal representation. He also tells her that it is normal practice for a customer in her position to distribute materials advertising his company Beez R Us to all her customers, and to commit to a contract with him for at least ten years. Maya explains that these arrangements would be extremely unusual in Spain, but Johnny insists this is the way things are usually done and she has no choice but to agree to them, since any other supplier would insist upon the same thing. When Harry instructs his solicitors to draw up the contract, he tells them to make it especially complicated and legalistic. Maya signs the contract agreeing to all of Harry's requirements, and she does so without seeking independent legal advice or reading it herself. A few weeks later after talking to some helpful Australian friends, she realises that she may have done the wrong thing. Using relevant legal principles, answer the following questions: a) Is Maya allowed to bring an action against Beez R Us? Page 3 of 8 LAWS 1018 Business Law b) Discuss whether Beez R Us has breached section 21 of the Australian Consumer Law and what remedies may be available. acer
