Abstract: Abstract The regulatory and legislative activity described in this chapter is characterised for most of the twentieth century by the policy of minimum intervention to encourage innovation, healthy competition, and the minimisation of the cost of the regulatory burden. It is what used to be called ‘freedom with publicity’. However, in the closing decades of the century there was some departure from that guiding principle towards more regulation to underpin consumer protection.
