Commonwealth Numbered Acts Commonwealth Numbered Acts(1) An application may be made to the Court to review a services contract on either or both of the following grounds:
(a) the contract is unfair;
(b) the contract is harsh.
Note: A proceeding pending in the Federal Magistrates Court may be transferred to the Federal Court of Australia: see Part 5 of the Federal Magistrates Act 1999 .
(2) An application under subsection (1) may be made only by a party to the services contract.
(3) In reviewing a services contract, the Court must only have regard to:
(a) the terms of the contract when it was made; and
(b) to the extent that this Part allows the Court to consider other matters--other matters as existing at the time when the contract was made.
(4) For the purposes of this Part, services contract includes a contract to vary a services contract.
Note: The effect of subsection (4) is that a contract to vary a services contract can be reviewed under this Part, as the contract to vary will itself be a services contract.
