UK Competition Appeal Tribunal, 15 October 2009, Case n° 1104/6/8/08, Tesco Plc v Competition Commission

The Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) lambasted Tesco Plc (Tesco) for incurring exorbitant costs (£1.46 million) in its successful judicial review of the Competition Commission's (CC) decision to implement a “competition test”. Tesco won its appeal. Nevertheless, the CAT has discretion over the allocation of costs, and decided to only award Tesco £342,000, amount to 23% of Tesco's costs for the main proceedings [1].
