Project No. 35

Commenced: 1972
Withdrawn: 1983

In 1972, the Standing Committee of Commonwealth and State Attorneys-General decided that the law on consumer credit and chattel securities should, as a matter of policy, be reviewed on a uniform basis throughout Australia. As a result the Committee’s work on these projects was deferred by the then Attorney General. When the Committee was formally reconstituted as a Commission in 1973, it took charge of these, and all outstanding projects.
