The UK s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) took up the case following which F P McCann was fined £25m in 2019.
Michael Grenfell, executive director of enforcement at the CMA, said: The length of these disqualification periods reflects the seriousness of this case. The CMA will continue to take strong action, where necessary, to protect the public from illegal anticompetitive practices. The message to directors is clear - you are personally responsible for ensuring that your company complies with competition law, and if it doesn t you risk disqualification.
But the CMA ruling is separate from the company’s ability to trade and Save Our Fens say they had “now admitted defeat – we will not contest the plans in the High Court.”
