Question 1:

DO NOT use ILAC and DO NOT summarise the law.

Apply the law and identify the relevant sections of legislation and/or case law

in your answer.

Mr and Mrs Zhou (Vendee) entered into a contract with Demagogue Pty Ltd (Vendor)

to purchase land at Noosa Heads in Queensland. They had no experience in

purchasing properties in Australia as they had recently arrived in the country. During

negotiations Mr and Mrs Zhou visited the site with Mr Biden (Demagogue's agent).

As they had crossed a 'steeply sloping land covered in vegetation' to view the

property, they specifically asked about its access. They were told the developer would

build a driveway to the road to provide access. A development plan indicating a

driveway from the road was shown to the couple. They later realised that the only

vehicular access was via a public road and they required a 'separate permit' to

construct a driveway to provide access to the property. Demagogue had not advised

Mrs and Mrs Zhou of the need for a separate permit.

Advise Mr and Mrs Zhou whether Demagogue Pty Ltd has breached any

provisions under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) 2010. What remedies (if

any) are available for Mr and Mrs Zhou under the ACL?
