The Ferderal Court of Australia declares that: Adelaide City Fines Pty Ltd (changed its name to Parking Collection Services in 2009) and Park Fast (SA) Pty Ltd (Park Fast) have each engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct, or conduct that is likely to mislead and deceive, in contravention of s 52 of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth) by issuing and authorising the issuing respectively of certain notices to persons (http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/sinodisp/au/cases/cth/FCA/2009/132.html).
The Adelaide City Council has successfully taken legal action against two companies issuing fake parking fines in the council's name. The companies, Adelaide City Fines (now called Parking Collection Services) and Park Fast, issued the so-called fine notices which looked look similar to parking fines issued by the council. The Lord Mayor, Michael Harbison, says the council has successfully prosecuted the companies in the Federal Court. "Now that council has won this court case, this will prevent this company from issuing these notices which pretend to come from the council and pretend to be parking fines," he said.
