The Federal Court has today published its judgment on liability in the ACCC v CFMEU case.
The ACCC commenced proceedings against the CFMEU in November 2014 alleging secondary boycott conduct in breach of section 45D of the CCA.
The Court also made non-publication and suppression orders which mean parts of the judgment are redacted.
The ACCC is unable to comment on the judgment due to the non-publication and suppression orders. Accordingly the ACCC will be making no further statements until such time as the non-publication and suppression orders are lifted.
“The ACCC is committed to bringing conduct we believe to be anti-competitive to court. We now have a dedicated Commercial Construction Unit focussing on the commercial construction industry,” Mr Sims said.
“Commercial construction is of fundamental importance to the Australian economy.”
