Ms Battell noted that the company's actions could have disadvantaged competitors who genuinely manufacture in New Zealand.
"NZOC paid a premium to have the garments made in New Zealand. It could well have insisted on another supplier if it had known that Sports Resources would source the garments from overseas."
Over 1,800 falsely labelled garments had been supplied to the NZOC before the Commission intervention. The Commission ensured all the items were re-labelled correctly before clothing was distributed to the Commonwealth Games team.
