Authority Decision of 16 May 2001 relating to a proceeding under Section
4
of the Competition Act, 1991
Notification
No. CA/527/92E – Schweppes International Limited / Cantrell & Cochrane
Decision
No: 587
Introduction
1
Notification was made by Cadbury Beverages Ltd (acting on behalf of Schweppes
International
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
4(2) in
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/527/92E) between Schweppes
International
Limited and Cantrell & Cochrane Group Limited expired on 31 December
came
into 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
