General Scheme of Representative Actions for the Protection of the Collective Interests of Consumers Bill 2022: Discussion

Mr. Jeremy Godfrey:

To share information about a concluded enforcement action is not problematic because we always make them public anyway. The question of whether or not prior findings of infringement can be used as evidence in representative actions is worth thinking about. I could not tell the Deputy whether legislative provision is necessary.
