Competition

Agents’ Mutual Ltd v Gascoigne Halman Ltd (trading as Gascoigne Halman) [2017] CAT 15, [2017] All ER (D) 90 (Jul)

There was no breach of s 2 of the Completion Act 1998 by rules in the parties’ agreement by which a member could only list properties on one other portal competing with the claimant’s portal, restricting membership to full-service office-based estate or letting agents and requiring members to promote only the portal. Accordingly, the Competition Appeal Tribunal determined that the rules had not been anti-competitive by object or by effect.
