Judgment Date:
2017-05-30
Abstract:
The Federal Court of Australia (FCA) has declared that a trading corporation engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct, made false or misleading representations, engaged in unconscionable conduct and contravened provisions relating to unsolicited consumer agreements, in breach of the (CTH) Competition and Consumer Act 2010 Sch 2. The FCA found that the deliberateness of the contravening conduct, its nature in targeting vulnerable people, the losses suffered by the Commonwealth and corporation's status as a market leader indicated a strong requirement for general and specific deterrence.
