Professors Byrne, Kemp and Menezes appointed part time members of the Australian Competition Tribunal

The Australian Competition Tribunal has revoked the ACCC’s 2020 authorisation for NSW Minerals Council and mining companies to collectively bargain with the Port of Newcastle.

ACCC: “The Australian Competition Tribunal has granted authorisation for a new consumer code for retailers of ‘new energy tech’ products, varying the conditions from those previously imposed by the ACCC in relation to “buy now pay later” (BNPL) finance providers.”

The reasons for judgment have been released in the Tabcorp/Tatts judicial review matter. Of the ACCC’s three grounds of judicial review only the first succeeded; the Court held that the Tribunal erred in not assessing certain detriment alleged by the ACCC.
