Competition Law Cases
Re Queensland Independent Wholesalers Limited
(1995) 132 ALR 225; (1995) ATPR 41-439
Facts
Forthcoming
Held
[At ATPR 40,967] "The proposed merger would have no anti-competitive or any other detriment. THe relevant wholesaling sub-markets are subject to competitive discipline from the market as a whole, which is the Australia-wide market for grocery distribution. The proposed reduction in the number of wholesalers in New South Wales and Victoria from two to one would be subject to the same competitive discipline and would have no anti-competitive or other detriment. In fact, it would be pro-competitive as it would improve the results to which the competitive process gives rise."
