S.I. No. 27 1995 Banning Unfair Contract Terms

Of great value when having a row with a huge organisation which claims it can do anything it likes because you signed up to an agreement with it.
S.I. No. 27/1995: EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES (UNFAIR TERMS IN CONSUMER CONTRACTS) REGULATIONS, 1995

to give it its full name, has a handy easy-to-read guide at the back in Schedule 3, telling you the kind of contract term which a consumer isn’t bound by if they agreed something with a business, acting in the course of its business.

It transcribes into Irish law the European Directive (No. 93/13/EEC, fact fans) protecting consumers from unfair contract terms. Don’t say the EU never did anything for you.

You heard it here first. Probably.
