Car Dealer Dealt With
A Dungannon trader who sold a misdescribed car was this week fined a total of £2,000 at Dungannon Magistrates' Court. In a case brought by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment’s Trading Standards Service, Jason Stinson, who trades as JRS Commercials Dungannon, was found guilty of two charges under the Trade Descriptions Act 1968. The charges related to a Mitsubishi Evo 7 which was falsely described as a manual model, when in fact it was manufactured by Mitsubishi as an automatic.
