Dear Mr Jensen, OCT 1991

Please find enclosed the Regulatory Impact Statement and Exposure Draft of the Retail Tenancy Leases Code of Practice. This free publication was requested by yourself in your letter of 17 September, 1991.

Since publication of the above document during May this year, the Department has received over 40 submissions which raise a number of issues about the interpretation and impact of some provisions of the proposed-Code.

As a result the Minister has directed the Department to prepare a Paper on Future Options for Fair Retail Shop Leasing Regulation that can provide the basis for meaningful discussion and decision.

The Paper must take account of the substantive submissions received and- the recently announced decision of the Commonwealth Government to extend the unconscionable conduct provisions of the Trade Practices Act to-commercial transactions.

My Officers will be pleased to assist with any further enquires that you may have.

Yours faithfully

JOHN HOLLOWAY

COMMISSIONER FOR CONSUMER AFFAIRS
