Google case an expensive lesson for ACCC
Feb 17, 2013 (The Australian - ABIX via COMTEX) --
The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission has been misguided in pursuing legal action against Google all the way to the High Court. The regulator has had its claim comprehensively rejected that the web search engine services provider was to blame under section 52 of the Trade Practices Act or section 18 of the Australian Consumer Law for misleading or deceptive advertisements placed by clients. In a series of previous similar cases, it had already been established that intermediaries such as publishers are not liable for the claims made by the actual advertiser.
