The Competition Cast - Court of appeal brings “By Object” restrictions to heel in Deckers v Up & Running

When is an agreement with a restrictive objective not a “by object” restriction of competition? In our latest episode of the Competition Cast, Michael Zymler is joined by partners Luke Streatfeild and Daniel Hunt to discuss the Court of Appeal's judgment in Deckers v Up & Running. They examine the Court's reversal of the CAT's first instance decision, its clarification of the test for restrictions of competition "by object", and the ruling’s practical lessons for businesses designing and operating distribution networks.
