The Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and its precursor, the Trade Practices Act, have revolutionised the Australian consumer protection landscape. However, consumers are not receiving the protection envisaged under the Act because of fundamental uncertainties undermining the statutory remedies. The problem lies in the lack of any rigorous theoretical account of the ongoing interactions between the remedial provisions of the ACL and the remedies that have traditionally been applied by judges in similar circumstances. This account will develop that framework to unlock the full potential of the remedial provisions of the ACL and provide a fresh means of understanding the evolving relationship between statutory and judge-made law.

《澳大利亚消费者法》（ACL）及其前身《贸易惯例法》（Trade Practices Act）彻底改变了澳大利亚的消费者保护格局。然而，消费者没有得到该法所设想的保护，因为根本的不确定性破坏了法定补救办法。问题在于，对于《反腐败法》的补救规定与法官在类似情况下传统上适用的补救措施之间的持续互动，缺乏任何严格的理论说明。本报告将发展这一框架，以释放《反垄断法》补救条款的全部潜力，并提供一种新的手段来理解成文法和法官制定法之间不断演变的关系。
