An example in Australia is consumer protection law. This saved me recently. My AppleCare has expired. I had raised a support case with Apple before that about a flickering screen. I live in bali where we have no Apple stores and authorised service centres take 5-6 weeks to do screen replacement. But after opening the case I call support to discuss this open issue and going to Australia to get it fixed. The supper guy said sorry your AppleCare expired and doesn’t matter that you already opened a case before it expired. But I went to australia and Apple Genius Bar and the guy said well your still covered under consumer law.
