In this article, exit fees, or the fees charged by financial institutions for early termination of a variable rate mortgage, are analysed. The authors discuss why these fees are a concern, including the potential impact on competition in the home loan market, the high rate of refinancing, and the way in which exit fees can exploit human cognitive biases. The authors also review the regulation of exit fees and present data on exit fees drawn from a study of 198 home loans offered by a wide range of financial institutions and also data obtained from two consumer law centres. The authors conclude with observations relating to the new role of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission in the regulation of exit fees.<\/p>\n To purchase this article, complete the Individual Article Sale<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0order form and email it to tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Cross border insolvency law: Reform and recent developments in light of the JAL corporate reorganisation filing<\/em><\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Lionel Meehan<\/p>\n Japan Airlines Corporation and certain subsidiaries (together, JAL) filed for corporate reorganisation under the Japanese Corporate Reorganisation Law on 19 January 2010.
