Section 58FM — Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)

If a person is ordered under an SPF civil penalty order to pay a pecuniary penalty in respect of particular conduct, the person is not liable to:

(a) a pecuniary penalty for contravening another civil penalty provision of an SPF principle or of an SPF code; or

(b) a pecuniary penalty under some other provision of a law of the Commonwealth;

in respect of that conduct.

Note: A court may make other kinds of orders under this Division, for example under section 58FZC (actions for damages), in relation to particular conduct even if the court has made an SPF civil penalty order in relation to that conduct.
