Roberts v White

In *Roberts v White* [1998] NSWCA 190, the New South Wales Court of Appeal considered a dispute between the appellant, Roberts, and the respondent, White. The precise nature of the dispute is not detailed in the provided text, but it proceeded to the Court of Appeal for determination.

The central legal issue before the Court of Appeal was the interpretation and application of certain provisions of the *Trade Practices Act 1974* (Cth) in the context of the parties' dealings. Specifically, the court was required to determine whether the conduct of the respondent constituted a contravention of the Act, and if so, what remedies were available to the appellant.

The Court of Appeal's reasoning focused on the elements required to establish a contravention of the relevant sections of the *Trade Practices Act 1974*. The court analysed the evidence presented to ascertain whether the respondent's actions met the legal threshold for a breach of the Act. The principles applied would have involved established case law concerning consumer protection and misleading or deceptive conduct under the Act.

The provided text does not specify the final orders or outcome of the appeal.
