Australian court sets June date for Google case from Reuters updates us on the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) suit against Google. The Australian watchdog sued Google over deceptive search ads back in July of this year. They then went to court to have their case adjourned to October 4.

Now we learn that an Australian Federal Court will hear the full case on June 23, 2008.


Google had a statement:

The ACCC’s claims against Google are entirely without merit and we will continue to defend against them vigorously. We’re very much looking forward to making our arguments to the court.
