Regulatory inquiries
This page was updated1 year ago
In markets where there is little or no competition, we may need to regulate the price and quality of goods and services for the benefit of consumers. Part 4 of the Commerce Act sets out the particular goods and services that are subject to regulation and the legislative rules governing that regulation. It also sets out the process for us undertaking inquiries into whether regulation of other goods and services may be needed.
