Law & Justice
Parliament has repeatedly sought over the past three decades to give statutory protection to customers of the financial services industry using terminology or concepts that have echoes in equitable doctrine. This paper considers the superannuation, financial advice, investment funds, consumer credit and life insurance regimes in particular. It argues that they can be arrayed across a spectrum spanning from caveat emptor at one extreme to something beyond fiduciary obligation at the other. The paper further argues that each regime’s place on the spectrum represents a normative judgment that has emerged from intense contestation in the reform process about the extent of personal responsibility that customers ought to take in different circumstances. Finally, the paper identifies the complexity arising in more recent times from regulatory initiatives (including licensing and FAR) that create additional, but not wholly harmonious, layers of  obligation for market participants.
