Karpik v Carnival plc
[2023] HCA 39
Key Principle
The unfair contract terms regime of the Australian Consumer Law can apply to a consumer contract for services supplied outside Australia, and a class-action waiver clause that imposes limitations only on passengers without restricting the carrier's options is an unfair (and therefore void) term.
