The Competition Authority is authorised to prioritise its projects according to the seriousness and importance of the matters. Submissions are assessed to determine whether they provide sufficient grounds for further investigation, and are then ranked in order of priority. Given the volume of submissions received by the Competition Authority, it is both necessary and appropriate for the institution to be able to prioritise its tasks so that its work is more targeted and focused. Consequently, those who refer matters to the Authority do not automatically have the right to have their case taken up for consideration or to be a party to such a case. Prioritising tasks may involve a matter being taken up for consideration immediately or even being placed on hold.
