Charges Laid Against Winnipeg Pit Stop
Sedco Enterprises Limited trading as 10 Minut Pit Stop in Winnipeg faced a $250 fine plus costs for misleading advertising. The charge, heard October 15, 1980, covered a brochure mailed to 32,000 Winnipeg homes offering a $5 discount on a $24.95 car shine and a separate $5 coupon redeemable only with a lube oil and filter change. The judge ruled the ad misleading as the discount applied to a total minimum expenditure of $38.90, not the $24.95 item.
