Justice Michael O’Bryan

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has taken the operator of the Jump! swim school franchise and its director to court for allegedly promising franchisees that it would hand over an operational franchise within 12 months of signing a franchise agreement when it had no reasonable basis for making the promise.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission will seek more than $4 million in refunds plus penalties when it takes the troubled operator of the Jump! Swim School franchise and its top executive to court for alleged violations of the Australian Consumer Law.
