Revised ACCC immunity policy for cartel conduct

Following the introduction of criminal penalties for cartels, the ACCC has released its revised policy for the application of immunity in relation to cartel conduct.

The immunity policy applies to civil proceedings instituted by the ACCC.

Immunity from criminal prosecution will be determined by the Commonwealth DPP in accordance with the same principles that determine immunity under the ACCC’s immunity policy.

UPDATE: Here's the Trade Practices Amendment Act containing the anti-cartel amendments.
