A GROUP of civil society organisations along
with the Competition Commission have withdrawn their Constitutional
Court appeal‚ which they had hoped would enable victims in the Western
Cape bread price-fixing cartel to sue Premier Foods.
The Constitutional Court was expected to hear the matter on Tuesday but the parties withdrew their application last week.
They had planned to challenge a Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) ruling that effectively let Premier Foods off the hook for its role in the 2006 bread cartel‚ by setting aside a declaration that opened it up to lawsuits.
