ACCC v Mitolo - more "egregious" sub judice commentary

ACCC has taken legal action against Mitolo, the largest potato wholesaler in Australia, for alleged unfair contract terms and breaches of the Horticulture Code. Unfortunately,, the ACCC has again decided to make some "egregious" sub judice commentary about the case in its media release: “These are some of the most egregious terms we have seen in agricultural contracts, and are key examples of the contracting practices in the sector that we want to address..." “We believe that these terms have caused, or could cause, significant detriment to farmers, by passing a heavy burden of risk down to farmers, the most vulnerable player in the supply chain." Will the ACCC never learn!
