Higher Vodafone penalty sought

-

Auckland: The Commerce Commission is taking Vodafone New Zealand back to court to seek a higher penalty after it misled customers with a broadband advertisin­g campaign.

The telecommun­ications company was ordered to pay a record fine of $2.25 million by the District Court in April for breaching the Fair Trading Act with its 201618 FibreX advertisin­g campaign.

Commission chairwoman Anna Rawlings said it was appealing the decision in the High Court because it did not reflect the seriousnes­s of Vodafone’s offending. — RNZ
