Enforcement Actions Report: April - June 2014 Quarter
In the course of administering NSW’s fair trading laws, Fair Trading may take enforcement action against individuals or companies that contravene those laws. Enforcement action is designed to stop the unlawful conduct, reduce the likelihood of its recurrence, act as a
general and specific deterrent and where appropriate, reverse its effect through actions such as corrective advertising or compensation. This report includes public information available through the courts as well as information on public registers administered by Fair
Trading. The enforcement actions listed may include:
• convictions resulting from prosecution in a court;
• statistical information on penalty notices issued by Fair Trading;
• disciplinary determinations – including results of proceedings in the Administrative Decisions Tribunal; and
• injunctions or other orders resulting from civil proceedings in the Supreme Court.
The information provided is correct as at the date of this report. Any matter might be subject to a change resulting from an appeal or application for review.
Current information may be obtained by contacting Fair Trading or accessing the public register where relevant.
