The Competition Tribunal has granted an application by the Competition Commission to amend its complaint referral (charge sheet) against two brick manufacturers.

The tribunal’s order means that the scope of the commission’s referral, which is already before the tribunal, will be extended to include a complaint of alleged price fixing in addition to the existing complaint of alleged market division by allocating customers for the manufacturing and supply of bricks, pavers and blocks, in contravention of the Competition Act.

The Commission applied to the tribunal to amend its referral after it said it uncovered new information during the discovery phase of the proceedings before the tribunal.

The main matter will only be heard after all “pre-trial” proceedings have been concluded.
