    Early internet era

Slave Trade Act 1807

The Slave Trade Act 1807 (47 Geo. 3 Sess. 1. c. 36), or the Abolition of Slave Trade Act 1807, was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom prohibiting the Atlantic slave trade in the British Empire. Although it did not automatically emancipate those enslaved at the time, it encouraged British action to press other nation states to abolish their own slave trades. It took effect on 1 May 1807, after 18 years of trying to pass an abolition bill. Many of the supporters thought the act would lead to the end of slavery. Slavery on English soil was unsupported in English law and that position was confirmed in Somerset's case in 1772, but it remained legal in most of the British Empire until the passing of the Slavery Abolition Act 1833 (3 & 4 Will. 4. c. 73).

  • What is being 'in trade'?​ | Commerce Commission

    Liam sells cars as a registered car dealer. One of his customers trades in an old car when buying a new one. Liam asks his uncle to sell the trade-in car on his behalf to try and avoid the consumer laws. Liam is in trade when his uncle sells the car, because his uncle is his agent under the Fair Trading Act and Liam is responsible for the sale. Liam’s uncle may also be liable for assisting Liam to breach that Act. [...] Any intermediary that provides a platform for online selling (like an online auction or daily deal website) must take reasonable steps to ensure that traders using their platform disclose their trader status. ## Examples of being in trade While on holiday overseas, Ben buys a pair of shoes for himself and nine other pairs to sell online when he gets home. Ben is in trade when he sells the nine extra pairs, because he bought the shoes with the intention of selling them. Ben’s online listing for the extra shoes must clearly state that he is selling them in trade. Ben must comply with the Fair Trading Act and Consumer Guarantees Act. [...] You cannot avoid your obligations under the Fair Trading or Consumer Guarantees Act by having someone else make offers or sell on your behalf. In these cases you will still be in trade, and the person selling on your behalf (the agent) may also be liable. A person selling goods that they bought or acquired for their own personal use is unlikely to be in trade. ## Disclosure of trader status online So that consumers know they are covered by the law, you must make it clear that you are in trade when selling goods or services online. You should disclose trader status clearly and prominently in every place where a customer can complete a purchase online.
