Ramsay has undertaken to divest 14 private hospitals (located in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia) to CVC Asia Pacific Limited and Ironbridge Capital Pty Limited.
The Undertaking acknowledges the ACCC has not had the opportunity to examine the acquisition for the purpose of identifying competition concerns and Ramsay has undertaken to hold separate and preserve the Affinity businesses as an independently viable going concern until the ACCC has completed its investigation and assessment of the acquisition.
The Undertaking also recognises the ACCC may identify competition concerns arising from the transaction in any relevant markets for the provision of private hospital services in Australia and gives the ACCC broad power to require Ramsay to divest hospitals to address those concerns.
CVC and Ironbridge have undertaken to execute a confidential Heads of Agreement with Ramsay for the acquisition of 14 private hospitals in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia.
The CVC and Ironbridge Undertaking will operate in unison with the Ramsay Undertaking.
Between May 2004 and August 2004, LG Australia released certain models of its washing machines for sale into the Australian market and represented that they were approved "4A Rated" by Water Services Association of Australia (WSAA) when in fact, at the time they were not.
LG also released a brochure in June 2004 which represented that the machines were 4A certified and posted information to this effect on the LG Australia website.
Western Australian consumers who bought these machines and approached the Water Corporation for a $150 Waterwise Rebate may have had their claims rejected, as certification was not complete until 28 August 2004.
The ACCC is of the view that LG's conduct in making these representations contravenes sections 52 and 53(c) of the Act.
LG has provided court enforceable undertakings that it will:
place a corrective notice on the LG Australia website
send a corrective notice to retailers
upgrade and maintain its trade practices compliance program
