Competition and Consumer Act 2010

The Commonwealth Minister must issue a proposed ban notice if the Commonwealth Minister proposes to impose an interim ban, or a permanent ban:

on consumer goods of a particular kind; or

on product related services of a particular kind.

Subsection (1) does not apply in relation to an interim ban if the Commonwealth Minister has issued a notice under section 132J certifying that the ban should be imposed without delay.

The proposed ban notice must:

be in writing; and

be published on the internet; and

set out a copy of a draft notice for the imposition of the interim ban or permanent ban; and

set out a summary of the reasons for the proposed imposition of the ban; and

invite any person who supplies, or proposes to supply:

consumer goods of that kind; or

product related services of that kind;

The period specified in the proposed ban notice under paragraph (3)(e):

must be a period of at least 10 days, or such longer period as the Commonwealth Minister specifies in the notice; and

must not commence before the day on which the notice is published.

A proposed ban notice is not a legislative instrument.
