News from Commerce Commission
The Commerce Commission has filed proceedings at the High Court in Wellington against Hutt and City Taxis Limited (Hutt & City) for alleged price fixing.
The Commission alleges Hutt & City contravened the Commerce Act by reaching a price-fixing agreement with two competing taxi companies to implement a minimum charge of $25 for pick-up taxi trips from the on-demand taxi rank at Wellington Airport.
The Commission alleges the agreement was reached in September 2020, following initial discussions in previous years, and that it took effect in October 2020. It’s alleged the fare was implemented through the distribution of stickers displaying the minimum charge to be placed on taxi vehicles. The conduct ceased in November 2020, after the Commission began investigating.
ALDEN WILLIAMS/Stuff The brigade’s territory covers urban housing, semi-rural blocks, an 80ha campground and forests. The new Spencerville site was chosen – rather than rebuilding on either of the current sites – because uniting volunteers from the Brooklands and Bottle Lake stations was seen as the best way to support and protect the local communities and nearby forest plantations. The 31-strong team has been training and responding from their new station since March, leading the way as the first fully unified brigade in Canterbury.
