Notification was made by Cadbury Beverages Ltd (acting on behalf of Canada Dry

Limited) and Cantrell & Cochrane Group Ltd on 30th September 1992 with a
refusal
by the Competition Authority to issue a certificate, a licence under
Section

respect
of a drinks franchise agreement.
The
Decision
2
The Competition Authority considers that, on the basis of the facts in its
possession,
the
drinks franchise agreement (Notification No. CA/525/92E) between Canada Dry
Corporation
Limited and Cantrell & Cochrane Group Limited expired on 31 December 2000.
force.
The Authority has set out in Decision No. 527 its reasons for concluding that
where
such
an agreement has terminated, a decision to issue or not to issue a certificate
is of limited
legal
consequence and, by virtue of
Section 7(3), no licence can now be awarded for the
period
during which the agreement operated. The Authority has, therefore, decided to
close
the
file without considering whether or not the agreement merits a certificate or
licence
