ACCC v Jayco Corp - Application Dismissed View Permitted

Justice Bennett of the Federal Court of Australia dismissed the ACCC's interlocutory application dated 18 March 2026 seeking an advance ruling that expert evidence from Jayco Corporation Pty Ltd was inadmissible or should be excluded under s 192A of the Evidence Act 1995. The Court found an advance ruling was inappropriate given the evidence was largely complete and the dispute concerned the meaning of evidence and pleadings requiring full ventilation at trial. Separately, the Court permitted a view under r 14.03 of the Federal Court Rules 2011 at the Hellenic Museum Car Park, 280 William Street, Melbourne on or about 11 May 2026, subject to conditions including that statements made during the view would be submissions only, not evidence, and both parties would have opportunity to make submissions.
