Offenders

MCI Technologies
MCI TEchnologies - aka Tomato Technologies threated NGE with legal action when they claimed that we had published gripes about their Star Trader software without giving them the right of reply. NGE maintains that it's not our fault if companies cannot manage their email efficiently. The outcome of all this brouhaha was that MCI found the lost email and replied on the site. To date, NGE has not heard any more from their lawyers, McCullough Robertson in Brisbane.

Russell Hobbs / Salton
Russell Hobbs Australia whose parent company is Salton threatened NGE with legal action in June 2003. All over advice that was given by Salton to a customer in Australia about her Russell Hobbs toaster. The advice concerned recommending that she use a wooden or plastic knife to extract the toast. The advice was in an email. Fair comment prevailed. No legal action followed.

National Building Solutions
National Building Solutions threatened NGE with legal action on February 26 2003. Not a good look. NGE stands by its member and wishes Cleo69 the best of luck when they take their complaint to NSW Fair Trading. We'll keep you posted on the outcome.

Carpet Court Diamond Valley
Carpet Court Diamond Valley threatened to sue NGE by yelling down the phone in a rather offensive manner. Not a good look is putting it too nicely for this company.
