Is there a legal requirement/law that says how small smallprint can be?

Answer 1

According to the law the answer to every question is what a reasonable man would think reasonably and depending on the facts and circumstances of the case.

So here also what ever is reasonable or to be more specific, readable is sufficient.

Answer 2

Legal requirements suggest 8 in standard type. In other words, it has to be readable and that's pretty much it. The law is only a guideline.

Answer 3

I used to proofread for a credit card company and my work involved reading the small print of terms and conditions. These were printed in 8pt which, I believe is the smallest point size the human eye can cope with before it becomes confused.

Answer 4

Typically the rules of courts require type to be "legible" Size 8 is just the smallest one on the little menu in word

Answer 5

There is a suggestion that eight should be the smallest font, but I have seen it much smaller. what ever size they do it, it must be legible, I am sorry that is the only requirement by law.

Answer 6

Well there should be! I have 20/20 vision and struggle with the small print. The rest is subliminal ie; I want, I need, must have, those shoes, etc!.....x

Answer 7

Don't you just love it when the "man" has fine print used back on him. Boy does he howl.

Answer 8

size 8 as i understand it mate

Answer 9

i think as long as it's visible and readable from the naked eye.....or mentioned in the commercial...like a voiceover

Answer 10

Its been suggested that 8pt be sufficient.
