Ruling (Disclosure - International Markets)

Ruling of the Tribunal refusing the Arla and Boots Claimants' application dated 24 May 2024 for "off-the-shelf" data, and other documents and information.

Subject to the exception in relation to MAN, the Tribunal decided it would be just and proportionate for the overcharge determination in respect of the UK market to be applied to the international markets applying the broad axe and taking into account the likely costs and benefits involved with the Arla and Boots' Claimants' proposals. 

The Ruling does not apply in respect of MAN and expert evidence of overcharge for International Key Accounts customer and Ireland is permitted. These proposals were set out by MAN's expert in December 2023 and the work has already largely been done.
