The Enforcer: Liana Witt on competition and consumer law enforcement and reform.
Description
Partner Liana Witt joins us to talk about the latest in competition and consumer law enforcement and law reform. The ACCC is leaning into consumer and cost-of-living issues as a new prohibition against unfair trading practices is taking shape. Private and class actions are dominating new competition law cases, but ACCC cases currently on appeal could change the enforcement landscape dramatically. Plus age restrictions for social media and a duty of care for digital platforms; new merger laws reach the final stretch; and Sigma and Chemist Warehouse take the W, skibidi. All this and some confusion about US cabinet appointments with co-hosts Moya Dodd and Matt Rubinstein.
