Consumer New Zealand says the Commerce Commission should have gone further in its action against Wilson Parking
Consumer New Zealand says the Commerce Commission should have gone further in its action against Wilson Parking
22 October 2020
The parking giant is selling leases to three of its Wellington carpark buildings, after purchasing them in 2016 and increasing prices without sign-off from the commission.
It will have to pay the commission half a million dollars for what's been dubbed anti-competitive behaviour.
Consumer New Zealand boss Jon Duffy says there should have been a comparison between what Wilson Parking was charging, and what it should have been charging.
He says some sort of compensation figure should have been worked into the calculation, and half a million dollars seems pretty light.
