Illustration for Commerce Act 1986

You can find information about a law called section 57GG, but it is no longer in use. It was stopped from being used on 1 April 2009 by a law called the Commerce Amendment Act 2008. You can read more about this law change on the legislation website.

This old law might still be used in some cases, like when looking at breaches of rules that were in place before it was stopped. Even though the law is not used anymore, it can still apply to some situations that happened before it was stopped. The law change that stopped section 57GG from being used is explained in the Commerce Amendment Act 2008.
