WHEN I first came home to practise law, one of the first things that struck me about Malaysian law was that we do not have an Unfair Contract Terms Act (UCTA). This is strange considering that we do have a Contracts Act when many other common law countries don’t.

A recent incident that I have been made privy to brought into sharp relief why there is an urgent need for a UCTA (of general application) to be promulgated.
