contracts don't stick in Oz

There's little Australian case law on contracts of adhesion, mainly because the issue has been covered by parliaments in most states and territories with laws along the lines of the Fair Trading Act 1999 Victoria or the Contracts Review Act 1980 New South Wales. Both make interesting reading in the light of South India Shipping.

LukeConnell's real problem in Australian law, apart from the tax commissioner, is the rule in Commonwealth v Verhayen. If you profit from inducing a false belief in a customer the Australian courts will award damages against you.
