===Australia=== Standard form contracts have generally received little special treatment under Australian common law. A 2003 [[New South Wales]] Court of Appeal case (''Toll (FGCT) Pty Limited v Alphapharm Pty Limited'') gave some support for the position that notice of exceptional terms is required for them to be incorporated. However the defendant successfully appealed to the [[High Court of Australia|High Court]] so currently there is no special treatment of standard form contracts in Australia. Since 1 January 2011, the [[Australian Consumer Law]] has been enacted in Australia at the national level, and due to a [[Council of Australian Governments]] (COAG) agreement this legislation is now part of each jurisdiction's (state's or territory's) Fair Trading laws.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/C2011C00003 |title=Competition and Consumer Act 2010 |date=January 2011 |access-date=2011-05-02 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110408200656/http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/C2011C00003 |archive-date=2011-04-08 }} Download at {{cite web |url=http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/C2011C00003/Download |title=Competition and Consumer Act 2010 |access-date=2011-05-02 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110505180136/http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/C2011C00003/Download |archive-date=2011-05-05 }} (PDF or DOC or ZIP available) Also refer to each State and Territory Fair Trading Department's websites.</ref>
