4 Mar 2026 Aramex New Zealand Holdings LimitedAramex: 700,000 NZD for customer allocation in a reseller agreement €355,800
In 2021 the courier company concluded an agreement with a competitor acting as reseller that allocated customers and fixed prices, and gave effect to the non-compete clause on one occasion; the wording had been copied from an older Fastway template. In civil proceedings brought by the Commerce Commission (ComCom, New Zealand's competition authority), the High Court on 4 March 2026 approved the jointly proposed penalty, allegedly of 700,000 NZD (starting point 1 million NZD, 30% reduction).
Contract templates should be reviewed regularly for competition law risks before they are copied for new partners.

1 Sep 2025 Jetstar Airways Pty LimitedJetstar: 2,250,000 NZD for false statements on compensation rights €1.13m
Between 1 January 2022 and 22 March 2024 the airline gave passengers false information in individual replies, automated emails and on its website about their compensation rights under the Civil Aviation Act for delays and cancellations within its control, so that valid claims were refused. After pleading guilty to 20 representative charges, it was fined 2,250,000 NZD. The Commerce Commission (ComCom, New Zealand's competition and consumer authority) had already issued Jetstar with compliance advice for similar statements before the offending period.
Standard replies and website texts on customer rights must reflect statutory liability correctly, otherwise they become a breach in their own right.
