Instructions:
You are a solicitor working in a commercial law firm. Your client is the owner of a large chain of Australian toy stores, Munchkins R Us. The legal compliance officer at Munchkins R Us, Melissa Rogers, has asked you for advice on the legal implications of two recent Federal Court judgments: Australian Competition and Consumer Commission v Woolworths Limited [2016] FCA 1472 and Australian Competition and Consumer
Commission v Coles Supermarkets Australia Pty Ltd [2014] FCA 1405.
As context for this advice, Munchkins R Us recently established a new ‘Special Suppliers Club' and has invited all of its suppliers to join this club for a monthly fee of $200. Members of the ‘Special Suppliers Club' will be provided with ‘member benefits' consisting of a monthly e-newsletter and an annual Christmas party. In addition, these suppliers have been informed that after the introduction of the club, products from ‘non-member suppliers' will no longer be promoted or displayed in high traffic areas of stores.
Ms Rogers has specifically asked you to advise Munchkins RUs as to whether its Special Suppliers Club complies with the ACL in light of these judgments (ACCC v Woolworths; ACCC v Coles).
