BIG NEWS: An Australian Court has accepted authenticity of Japanese Registration Certificates provided by JOC


This buyer of a wound back car has received the original Japanese papers from JOC and then went on to win his case in the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal. This is a break-through!


Here is the text from the Daily Telegraph:


READER Apurva Mishra has prevailed in his car-clocking crusade. In April, Public Defender reported Mr Mishra was taking action in the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal, alleging the imported Lancer he paid Sydney’s Prestige Auto Centre $30,000 for had travelled about three times the 34,000km the odometer said.


The NCAT ruled Prestige Auto Centre had engaged in “misleading and deceptive conduct” and ordered it pay Mr Mishra $18,526.


NCAT senior member Sabine Thode said: “I am satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that the odometer reading was changed by the respondent or that a third party changed the odometer reading with the knowledge of the respondent in order to mislead or deceive the applicant.”


The NCAT accepted the Japanese Registration Certificate Mr Mishra presented. This is important, as it was bought through a third party, not the registry in Japan, but Mr Mishra was able to demonstrate its authenticity. Until now there has been a question mark over whether such documentation is legitimate.


This result should serve as a warning to any dealer considering winding back odometers.
