The Federal Court yesterday made declarations that Clarus Telecom breached the Trade Practices Act by misrepresenting (through their telemarketers) that their services were affiliated with or provided on behalf of Telstra.
The declarations, which were made by consent, came about after the ACCC issued proceedings against Clarus at the start of September over the conduct of its telemarketers.
In addition to the declarations, Clarus was ordered (by consent) to:
- publish corrective notices on their website
- publish an article educating the industry about compliance with the Act
- pay the ACCC’s costs of the court proceedings
- implement a Trade Practices compliance program
The ACCC media release is available here.
