Major retailers have been let off the hook, as the Competition Commission issued a notice of non-referral on Friday, following an investigation into long-term supermarket lease agreements.
Meanwhile, the Competition Tribunal last week heard arguments from the Commission and merging parties Foodcorp and Oceana about the terms of sale of Foodcorp's fishing business. The food producers claim the Commission's proviso was threatening jobs; the Competition Commission argued that Oceana should not own Foodcorp's fishing rights.
Finally, keep up with the 2014 Biz Trends from Doug Mayne, Justin Hawes and Aki Kalliatakis.
Have a fabulous week!
