22.01.2022 The proposed merger of Vodafone and TPG hit the news recently, when the Federal Court permitted the merger to proceed, effectively over ruling the ACCCs earlier rejection of the proposal. In a reversal for the ACCC, the Court found the merger would potentially even enhance competition. This case demonstrates the importance of carefully considering the competition aspects of a merger, particularly where the merger is taking place between competitors in a concentrated market, ...writes James Halliday. https://www.keypointlaw.com.au/keynotes/combining-forces/ #CorporateLaw #Competition #ACCC
