Gold Coast couple’s Australian 4WD Hire company systematically lied to customers, Federal Court rules
A Russian-born businessman and his wife based on Queensland’s Gold Coast have been told they face jail unless they repay tourists they “ripped off” through their outback car rental company, Australian 4WD Hire.
Key points:
- Former company controllers Vitali Roesch and Maryna Kosukhina have 21 days to repay customers
- They are liable to imprisonment or other punishment if they fail to do so
- The court found their hire company lied to customers and its contracts were declared void
A damning Federal Court judgment has found their Australian 4WD Hire business systematically lied to customers and used unfair contracts to demand they pay the full costs of repairing or replacing damaged vehicles, even if there was no damage.
