Apple’s iPad is in faces some legal troubles in Australia where an agency has taken its objections over the tablet’s 4G label to court.

According to a statement the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission released Tuesday, the agency will seek orders against Apple in federal court this week for “alleged contraventions” of Australian Consumer Law.
