British Sky Broadcasting Group plc and another v Competition Commission and another – WLR Daily

Posted January 22nd, 2010 in appeals, competition, law reports, media, mergers by sally

British Sky Broadcasting Group plc and another v Competition Commission and another [2010] EWCA Civ 2; [2010] WLR (D) 5

“In deciding whether or not the recommendation of the Competition Commission that a proposed merger should be prevented as contrary to the public interest, the Competition Appeal Tribunal was not required to exercise a greater intensity of judicial review than would be applied on a normal judicial review application. S 120(4) of the Competition Act 1998 required the appeal tribunal to apply the same principles as would be applied by a court on an application for judicial review. It would fly in the face of the section’s words if the tribunal, as a hyper-competent specialised tribunal, were required to undertake a more intensive review.”

R (G) v Governors of X School (Secretary of State for Children and Schools and Families intervening) [2010] EWCA Civ 1; [2010] WLR (D) 4

“Where an individual was subject to two or more sets of proceedings, or phases of a single proceeding, and a civil right or obligation enjoyed or owed by him would be determined in one of them, he could (but not necessarily would), by force of art 6 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, enjoy appropriate procedural rights in relation to another of them if its outcome would have a substantial influence or effect on the determination of the civil right or obligation. Accordingly, disciplinary proceedings which could lead to a teacher being statutorily barred from working with children were determinant of an individual’s right to practice his profession and art 6 was engaged by those proceedings.”

Megtian Ltd (in administration) v Revenue and Customs Commissioners [2010] EWHC 18 (Ch); [2010] WLR (D) 3

“The phrase ‘knew or ought to have known’ when applied for the purpose of identifying the state of a mind of a person who had participated in a transaction which was in fact connected with a fraud encompassed two different states of mind. A person who knew that a transaction was connected with fraudulent tax evasion was a participant in that fraud and had a dishonest state of mind; by contrast, a person who merely ought to have known of the relevant connection was not dishonest, but had a state of mind broadly equivalent to negligence.”
