Technology and appliance retailer Noel Leeming has admitted misleading consumers' rights after customer complaints led to an investigation by the Commerce Commission.
The company, owned by The Warehouse Group Limited, entered guilty pleas by notice to eight charges under the Fair Trading Act this week.
A lengthy sentencing hearing will be held in the Auckland District Court later this year.
The Commerce Commission filed the charges in April against Noel Leeming for breaching the Consumer Guarantees Act by misrepresenting consumers' rights.
The charges followed an investigation into customer complaints for the right to seek remedies for faulty goods from Noel Leeming and not the manufacturer, the right to a refund for faulty products and the right to a replacement for a faulty product.
