Snooker Antitrust in Court
Considering the recent interest in sports’ antitrust and the NST v World Snooker case, I have re-posted my 2001 Casenote “Markets in Sport – Competition Act 1998 case finds snooker body dominant” which commented on the 2001 High Court decision in Hendry v WPBSA [2001] All ER (D) 71. This looks at the importance of functional (vertical) markets in assessing sports’ competition issues.
