South Africa’s Competition Commission has announced it will appeal against a decision by the Competition Appeal Court in a price-fixing case against three foam producers. The commission says the ruling skews what the Competition Act states it should include in referrals to the Competition Tribunal. 

South Africa’s Competition Commission has filed an application for leave to appeal against a decision by the country’s Competition Appeal Court (CAC), on grounds that it has diminished the authority’s powers of investigation.

The chairman of South Africa’s Competition Commission, Shan Ramburuth, says the authority may challenge several decisions by the Competition Tribunal that overturned commission rulings.
