29 Feb 2024 a Japanese homebuilding group and four group companiesHomebuilding group and four homebuilders: orders over 'No. 1' claims without objective survey JapanMisleading advertising and pricinganonymised Order

The holding company of a homebuilding group and four group companies advertised custom-built homes in 2022 and 2023 on websites, in social media posts and in flyers as 'No. 1' in three categories, such as the range of building plots on offer and 'high quality at low cost'. The underlying survey only asked for impressions of selected providers' websites and did not check whether respondents knew the services; on 29 February 2024 a cease-and-desist order was issued against each of the five companies.

What organisations can take from it

Ranking and 'No. 1' claims require an objective survey of actual customers; a website impression test run by a service provider is not sufficient.

How the radar is compiled

Official sources only

Every case is based on a decision, press release or database of an authority or a court. Press and law-firm reports count at most as additional references.

Four-eyes check

Whoever enters a case may not approve it. A second, independent check compares company, date, amount and area of law with the source. Only then is the case published.

Comparable amounts

Amounts are converted at the ECB reference rate on the day of the decision. Each case also shows the original amount.

Corrections on record

A correction is a new version that is checked again. Every change is logged. You can report errors directly on each case.

Case texts are translated from the German original. Where a translation is not yet available, the German text is shown and marked “(German original)”. Names of authorities, laws and companies are given as in the source (company names until they are anonymised).

Company names are anonymised two years after the decision in a case, in line with the practice of many supervisory authorities. The official sources remain linked.

The radar reports on published decisions and is not legal advice. Decisions that are not yet final are marked as such where the status is known.
