Unpredictable Correction Costs

Businesses must bear all costs of complying with Correction Directions, including publication in newspapers and communication to specified audiences, even when they had no reason to believe information was false (Section 63(4)-(5)). This creates uninsurable financial liability that cannot be managed through due diligence, with costs falling disproportionately on smaller businesses. Combined with potential monetary damages (Section 63(6)) and the three-warning license suspension system (71), this creates cascading financial exposure that disrupts operations and distorts market competition.
