Judgment in the case brought by Aldi against EPAL around their communication regarding the likely impact of changes to EFTPOS fees has been handed down this morning in Aldi’s favour. EPAL has been required to publish corrective communication. Costs were awarded to Aldi.
While this does not address the impact of the new fees levied by EPAL (big banks plus Coles and Woolworths), it does require a more accurate statement on the impact of the EPAL decision to raise fees.
