"CCA 2010 current maximum civil penalties for major competition and ACL contraventions"

institutionalproposed0.10→ never 1.0
Canonical Claim

Current CCA s 76 and ACL Schedule 2 s 224 major civil penalty rows use $2,500,000 for a person who is not a body corporate and $100,000,000 as the first body-corporate benchmark, so Source rows showing $10,000,000 / $50,000,000 for CCA s 46, s 47, or ACL s 29 are stale as current-law summaries.

Warrant (how it is justified) and consensus state / credence (where the community stands) are independent axes. The four warrant kinds are unordered peers — not a certainty ladder.

Jurisdiction-Scoped Fact
Jurisdiction: CTH
Authority: Federal Register of Legislation
Source: Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) s 76; Schedule 2 s 224

This is a human-established fact. It holds within CTH as enacted by Federal Register of Legislation.

Consensus Frontier

⚑ held by convention · challengeable

This claim has no dependencies — the drill terminates here. Not because bedrock was reached, but because this is where the community currently agrees to stop digging. It is epistemically identical to every other node: held by convention, and challengeable.

Answer

Canonical claim: Under the current Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), the major civil penalty rows in s 76(1A) for Part IV competition contraventions and Schedule 2 s 224(3) for Australian Consumer Law Part 3-1 contraventions now use $2,500,000 as the maximum for a person who is not a body corporate, and $100,000,000 as the first body-corporate benchmark, with alternative benefit/turnover benchmarks where applicable. This means Source rows that still state $10,000,000 for an individual and $50,000,000 for a body corporate for CCA s 46, CCA s 47, or ACL s 29 are stale or incorrect as current-law summaries. Official source checked: Federal Register of Legislation, Competition and Consumer Act 2010 current compilation C2026C00142, s 76(1A)-(1B) and Schedule 2 s 224(3)-(3A). Dogfood note: Source machine-readable rows for CCA 2010 s 29, s 46, and s 47 surfaced the stale $10,000,000 / $50,000,000 penalty figures during search verification.

Verified against Federal Register Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth). Maximum penalty for a body corporate for major competition/ACL contraventions is the greater of A0 million, 3x the benefit obtained, or 30% of adjusted turnover during the breach period — as amended by the Treasury Laws Amendment (More Competition, Better Prices) Act 2022. Canonical claim accurate.
