BAA and the Competition Commission

25 February 2010

Today, the Competition Appeal Tribunal ordered that the Competition Commission's decisions in their report of 19 March 2009 relating to the common ownership of airports, be quashed.

The Competition Appeal Tribunal also ordered that the matter be referred back to the Commission to reconsider but that this referral will not take effect until the conclusion of any appeal.

The Competition Appeal Tribunal also decided that the Competition Commission's and Ryanair's requests for permission to appeal be refused. However, the Competition Commission still has an opportunity to seek permission to appeal directly from the Court of Appeal.
