Subject: TRIM: Third line forcing notifications N99510 & N99511 lodged by Metricon Homes Pty Ltd and Feilong Pty Ltd [DLM=For-Official-Use-Only]

HP TRIM Record Number: D16/170869

Security Classification: For Official Use Only

Dear Mr Gribble

I refer to the third line forcing notifications lodged with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (the ACCC) by Metricon Homes Pty Ltd and Feilong Pty Ltd on 14 December 2016.  They have been allocated the registration numbers N99510 and N99511.   The notifications 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 notifications 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 notifications 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 notifications.

Please contact Elizabeth Batten on (02) 62431359 or by email to adjudication@accc.gov.au if you have any questions about this matter.

Regards
