Commentary on Sections

Part 2: Unfair Terms

Supplementary provisions

Section 73: Disapplication of rules to mandatory terms and notices

343.This section ensures that the new and amended provisions on unfair terms do not override legal requirements in other legislation. This may be relevant, for example, where several pieces of legislation affect a trader’s business.

344.This section reflects regulation 4(2) of the UTCCRs, which implements Article 1(2) of the UTCCD.
