-
Q: When should I contact a lawyer for a consumer or civil dispute?
-
Q: What evidence do I need for a consumer or civil law complaint?
Common evidence includes receipts, contracts, invoices, warranties, photographs, email communication, correspondence with the business or service provider, and any records showing the loss or inconvenience suffered. This information supports your claim under consumer rights law and strengthens your matter if formal dispute resolution or litigation becomes necessary.
-
Q: Can a lawyer help if a business refuses to repair or refund a faulty product?
Yes. A lawyer can advise you on your rights under Australian consumer law, negotiate with the business on your behalf, prepare a formal complaint and, if required, commence tribunal or court action to enforce your right to a repair, replacement or refund.
-
Q: Do consumer or commercial disputes always go to court in Australia?
Not always. Many disputes are resolved through negotiation, mediation or tribunal processes such as NCAT or VCAT. Court proceedings are usually considered when earlier steps fail or when the dispute involves significant financial or legal issues. We guide clients through each stage to ensure the most efficient and cost-effective outcome.
-
Q: What if a company uses misleading advertising or false claims?
Misleading or deceptive conduct is prohibited under Australian consumer law. We can help you assess whether a breach has occurred, gather evidence and pursue remedies such as compensation, correction of the misleading claim or formal enforcement through tribunals or courts if required.
