Review of the Pawnbrokers Act 1860-1984
 


Project No. 81

Commenced: 1984
Completed: 1985

The reference arose as a result of a complaint of an abuse of pawnbroking practice which the Pawnbrokers Amendment Act 1984 (WA) was designed to correct. The Government announced that a review of the Act would be undertaken as a matter of priority. Accordingly in September 1984 the Attorney General asked the Commission to undertake the task.
