Direct-to-Consumer AI Health Services
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has the potential to replace a visit to the doctor, with AI companies offering health services directly to the public that, until recently, could only be performed by humans. AI apps that claim to detect disease, such as skin cancer, envisage a hopeful future where everyone can access expert medical care on their phone, at a fraction of the cost of traditional healthcare. However, the advent of AI in medica…
Generative Artificial Intelligence in Small Value Consumer Claims
This article examines the benefits and risks of generative artificial intelligence (‘GenAI’) use in an important domain that is currently under-serviced by the civil justice system: small value consumer claims, where GenAI has been proposed as a means of closing the access to justice gap. In the online dispute resolution (‘ODR’) field, use of digital tools such as expert systems and rules-based chatbots has been advanced to assist potential litig…
Product Liability and Online Marketplaces
This article analyses the challenges that online marketplaces and e-commerce pose to traditional product liability doctrines. It uses a comparative perspective to examine whether an online platform can be liable to a consumer for a defective product purchased on its platform, and the adaption of product liability law to this challenge in a series of jurisdictions. It reflects on the role of litigation and regulation, focusing on Europe and the Un…
Good Proctor or “Big Brother”? Ethics of Online Exam Supervision Technologies
Online exam supervision technologies have recently generated significant controversy and concern. Their use is now booming due to growing demand for online courses and for off-campus assessment options amid COVID-19 lockdowns. Online proctoring technologies purport to effectively oversee students sitting online exams by using artificial intelligence (AI) systems supplemented by human invigilators. Such technologies have alarmed some students who …
Scrutinising Covidsafe
Digital technologies are being used to combat the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic through a variety of methods, including monitoring compliance with quarantine and contact tracing. These uses of technology are said to promote public health outcomes but risk undermining rights to privacy. In this article we focus on the use of digital technologies for contact tracing, such as the COVIDSafe app used in Australia. We explore the kind of…
From Safety Nets to Support Networks
This article considers the significance of the obligations in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (‘CRPD’) for consumer protection law and policy. The current legal response to consumers who require additional decision-making support is primarily focused on mechanisms to release consumers classified as ‘vulnerable’ from transactions tainted by concerns about a lack of genuine consent. While these legal respons…
Consumer Redress Legislation
The growth of statutory consumer protection regimes in modern commercial societies has the potential profoundly to disrupt the private law landscape. Such schemes aim to increase access to justice for consumers by offering simplified and clear suites of rights and corresponding remedies. In so doing, however, they affect core areas of private law rights and remedies, and may come to undermine or replace existing contractual principles and policie…
Consumer Affairs
Introducing the New, National Australian Consumer Law
The Commonwealth government recently enacted new consumer protection legislation, the 'Australian Consumer Law' ('ACL') applicable in all jurisdictions across Australia. The ACL is contained in Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), the new name for the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth) ('TPA')
From Supergirl to Invisible Woman
While increasing numbers of women are studying law, females remain under-represented in the senior ranks of the legal profession. One factor influencing the participation of women in corporate legal practice is the dominant conception of the legal professional as a person with a single-minded commitment to the firm. Many law schools properly promote participation in the legal profession as a reason for studying law. However, the full story should…
