Honda fined $6 million over consumer law breaches in Perth, Melbourne and Sydney

Honda has been fined $6 million by the Federal Court for misleading customers about the closure of former dealerships in Perth, Melbourne and Sydney.

The court on Friday accepted accepted arguments by the competition regulator that the Japanese motor giant’s Australian subsidiary breached consumer law by making false and misleading representations to customers after severing links with dealerships in Burswood, Brighton and Bentleigh East in Melbourne, and Sutherland in Sydney.
