The consumer watchdog is alleging the supermarket giant used "illusory discounts" to sell Tim Tams and 11 other popular items.


Supermarket giant Woolworths will defend its discounting regime in court against consumer watchdog claims it used fake discounts to mislead customers despite higher prices.

Woolworths will present its case to the Federal Court after Coles made its defence in February, with the court withholding judgment until both grocery juggernauts have offered their arguments.
