Subject: Third Line Forcing
Notification N99932 lodged by GWD Operations Pty Ltd
[DLM=For-Official-Use-Only]
Security Classification: For Official Use Only
Dear
Mr Muir
I
refer to the third line forcing notification lodged with the Australian Competition
and Consumer Commission (the ACCC) by GWD Operations Pty Ltd on 27 September
2017. It has been allocated the registration number N99932. 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 Elizabeth Batten on 02 6243 1359 or by email to
adjudication@accc.gov.au
if you have any questions about this matter.
Regards
David Jones
