The Brown Thomas Arnotts Group has pleaded guilty to breaking sales pricing laws during its Black Friday Sales Period. The luxury retailer has admitted that some products advertised as discounted during the Black Friday Sales period in 2024 breached sales pricing laws. This case forms part of a series of prosecutions brought by the consumer watchdog under sales pricing laws introduced in 2022. In 2025, Lifestyle Sports, DID Electrical, Rathwood and Boots also pleaded guilty to breaking sales pricing laws. If Brown Thomas Arnotts default in making these payments within the time allowed, they will have to pay a fine of €1,000 within three months.
