Subject: TRIM: Third line forcing notification N97707 lodged by GE
Automotive Financial Services [DLM=For-Official-Use-Only]
HP TRIM Record Number: D14/115381
Security Classification: UNCLASSIFIED For Official Use Only
Dear Mr Pereira
I refer to the third line forcing
notification lodged with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission
(the ACCC) by GE Automotive Financial Services on 22 August 2014.
It has been allocated the registration number N97707. The
notification and this email will be placed on the ACCC’s public register which
is available on the ACCC’s website.
The protection from legal
action provided by the notification commences automatically 14 days after the
lodgement date, unless the ACCC objects.
On the basis of the information that you have
provided, and that the
parties will disclose all relevant terms and conditions to customers, the ACCC
does not object to the notification at this time.
If
at any time circumstances change, or the ACCC receives further information,
such that it is satisfied that the public benefits from the third line forcing
conduct do not outweigh the public detriments, the ACCC may remove the
protection provided by the notification.
Please
contact Luke Griffin on (02) 6243 1114 or by email to adjudication@accc.gov.au if you have any
questions about this matter.
Regards
Dr Richard Chadwick
