Coles & Woolworths class action progress
"Down Down" / "Prices Dropped" misleading discounts (2021-2023) · registering
Customers who bought products promoted as "Down Down" or "Prices Dropped" between 2021 and 2023. The regulator won its misleading-pricing case against Coles in the Federal Court (May 2026); the separate private class action is still pre-filing and preparing to restart, so no compensation scheme exists yet.
