Diskurinn ehf., Dagsbrún hf., Sena ehf. and Baugur Group hf. v. The Competition Authority

The Competition Appeals Tribunal overturned a decision of the Competition Authority. No. 22/2006, where the merger of Dagsbrún hf. and Sena hf. was annulled. It was considered that the right of all parties to be heard had not been adequately ensured, see also paragraph 3 of Article 17 of the Competition Authority's procedural rules. It was considered that these defects in the handling of the case were so serious that it was inevitable that the proceedings before the Competition Authority in this case would have to be quashed in their entirety. The decision under appeal was therefore annulled.
