Decision and reason for the decision The Assistant Chief Minister approved the terms of reference for a review of the circumstances leading up to a decision by the JCRA that ATF fuels had abused a dominant market position. The Royal Court overturned a decision of the JCRA that ATF fuels had abused a dominant market position. It is now appropriate to seek an independent evaluation of the circumstances surrounding the case including whether the JCRA has discharged its legal duties appropriately and whether there are any significant deficiencies in how the competition law has operated. |
Resource implications There will be a cost associated with securing expert legal advice to conduct the review. The cost will be met from within existing budgets. |
Action required The Chief Minister’s Department to ask the Law Officers to secure expert legal advice to carry out a review as set out in the Terms of Reference. |
