From www.holdingredlich.com: In 2024, significant enforcement actions under Australia’s consumer law included landmark cases against companies like Mazda, Clorox, and Qantas for misleading conduct, resulting in hefty penalties and reinforcing the importance of accurate consumer representations.

The ACCC and ASIC emphasised accountability for corporations through these rulings, targeting greenwashing claims and misleading promotions that affected consumer trust.

Businesses are urged to comply with consumer laws by ensuring transparency in advertising, accurately representing prices, and disclosing all relevant fees to avoid severe repercussions.
