Understanding “understandings”under the Trade Practices Act an enforcement abyss?
Ian Wylie
Trade Practices Law Journal
Volume 16, Number 1, March 2008 p.20

How can it be that petrol retailers with well-synchronised and upwardly mobile pricing behaviour have repeatedly been found not to have any “understanding”about prices sufficient to contravene ss 45/45A of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth)? There is no direct guidance on the issue from Australia’s highest court, but one aspect of it, the (in)sufficiency of parallel conduct to prove collusion, has recently been considered by the Federal Court of Australia in ACCC v Leahy Petroleum Pty Ltd and the United States Supreme Court in Bell Atlantic Corp v Twombly. The objective of this article is to divine what is, and is not, an “understanding”under ss 45/45A, and to explore how Australian law might develop in this regard.

The cardboard box cartel case: Was all the fuss warranted?

Australian Business Law Review
Volume 36, Number 1, February 2008 p.6

The ACCC’s legal action for price fixing against the giant cardboard box company, Visy, and its billionaire owner, Richard Pratt, has captivated the media. This article investigates the significance of the case from a competition law enforcement perspective, examining various aspects of the Federal Court’s decision with respect to penalties, the implications of the case for the proposal to criminalise serious cartel conduct, and insights arising from the litigation by “victims”of the cartel in relation to private enforcement of the competition provisions of the Trade Practices Act.
