There is no one legal definition of a consumer.Even in one set of legislation such as the Australian Consumer Law， there are differing definitional requirements.The main definition looks to the acquisition of goods and services and delineates this by reference to both the value and purpose of the acquisitron.This definition does not apply to all provisions in the ACL.Some protective provisions are not constrained by reference to a consumer.Others constrain the transaction by reference to the contract rather than the acquisition.In this case the delineation is by purpose alone and does not refer to value. The provision of financial services is carved out from the ACL and dealt with in two separate regimes.The Australum Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001 （ Cth） reflects the ACL consumer protection provisions for the purposes of financial services.Here， consumer is also defined with reference to value and purpose.While similar， the general economy notion of small business to clarify that services over the prescribed amount are excluded from the concept of consumer.
