Notification
No CA/526/92E: Sunkist/C&C.
Decision
No. 557
Introduction
1.
Notification was made by Cadbury Beverages Ltd on behalf of Sunkist Soft Drinks
(British Isles) Ltd on 30 September, 1992 with a request for a certificate
under
Section 4(4) of the
Competition Act, 1991 or, in the event of a refusal
by the Competition Authority to grant a certificate, a licence under
Section
4(2) in respect of a Bottlers Agreement CA/526/92E between Sunkist and C&C.
The
Decision
2.
The Competition Authority considers that, on the basis of the facts in its
possession, the bottlers agreement (Notification No. CA/526/92E) between
Sunkist and C&C, has expired. The agreement in question was in existence at
the time the
Competition Act, 1991 came into force. The Authority has set out
in Decision no. 527 its reasons for concluding that where such an agreement has
terminated, a decision to issue or not to issue a certificate has no legal
consequences and, by virtue of
Section 7(3), no licence can now be awarded for
the period during which the agreement operated. The Authority has, therefore,
decided to close the file without considering whether or not the agreement
merits a certificate or licence.
