Case number
(T)CMA(PT) 208/2023
Date of judgment
Outcome
Set aside

Headnote

The examination report cited ten documents and section 3(k). The first hearing notice abandoned all of them and raised section 3(c) with two new documents. The second notice dropped those and introduced two more. There is a strong attitudinal problem with a Controller who not only changes the goal post but seems to be running with it.
