Maddocks Partner and series host Shaun Temby sits down with Special Counsel Christopher Marsh to discuss the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC)’s proceedings against Retail Food Group (RFG), which settled in late 2022.

After initial media reports in 2019 about RFG’s questionable conduct in relation to the management of franchisees’ funds (and other allegations), the ACCC investigated the conduct and commenced court proceedings against RFG in 2020.

Given that news of the settlement may have been a surprise to those following this high profile case, Shaun and Chris discuss some key takeaways for both consumers and franchisers in this space.
