Claim under section 47A of the Competition Act 1998.

A case management conference (CMC) was listed for 27 October 2020 and took place as a remote case event.  The Chairman gave a ruling at the CMC on the Claimants' application for a split trial and early disclosure ([2020] CAT 22) and gave directions for the future conduct of the proceedings.

A second CMC took place on 12 January 2021 as a remote case event and the Chairman gave further directions.

The Defendants made an application on 8 July 2021 requesting further information and clarification from the Claimants ("RFI Application") and an application on 19 July 2021 for disclosure ("Disclosure Application").  The hearing of the Defendants' RFI and Disclosure Applications took place on 8 September 2021 where the Chairman gave directions.
