The Chairperson of the Competition Tribunal, Mr Norman Manoim, said that the number of matters, that the Competition Tribunal had received, had exceeded the number of matters heard. Cases could not be heard at the same rate at which they were received. The bulk of the matters that the CT had received were procedural. These were simply tactical ploys used by parties in order to avoid having to settle, and were a necessary aspect of the legal process. Some of the more noteworthy cases included that of 1-Time Airline and Lanseria International Airport, the Competition Commission and SA Breweries, and the Competition Commission and Tracetec and Netstar.
