CTOnews.com, August 14 (Xinhua)-- the Australian subsidiary of Dell Technology Co., Ltd. must pay a fine of A $1000 (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 47.1 million yuan) to consumers for misleading statements about discounts on computer monitors on its website, the Australian Federal Court ruled on Monday.

This is a lawsuit brought by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) against Dell Australia, and in June this year, a federal court found that Dell Australia made a false statement about the price or discount of the monitor on its website.

"this result sends a strong signal to companies that making false statements about prices or discounts or exaggerating discounts is a serious violation of consumer law and will be severely punished," said Liza Carver, a member of the ACCC.

Dell Australia reportedly sold more than 5300 monitors at exaggerated discounts between August 2019 and December 16, 2021.

"We will work with affected customers to provide appropriate refunds plus interest and take steps to improve our pricing process to ensure that this error does not happen again," a Dell Australia spokesman said in a statement to Reuters. "
