The ACCC began further proceedings in October 2008 against Allphones which resulted in Allphones giving interim undertakings to the court and the court ordering injunctions restraining Allphones from engaging in conduct in negotiations with its existing franchisees which the ACCC alleges contravened the Act.

Both these earlier proceedings include allegations of unconscionable conduct, contravention of an industry code, misleading conduct and misleading representations about certain business activities.

A directions hearing for the class action is set for September 8, 2009.
