Consumers v OFT Donation Call on Hold
Following an agreement with the OFT, CAMRA has suspended its call for donations to fund its legal appeal against the OFT's initial rejection of CAMRA's pub market super-complaint.
CAMRA is delighted that the OFT has agreed to reopen consideration of its super-complaint before making a final decision. Persuading the OFT to commit to making a new decision is a magnificent achievement that was only possible as a result of the generosity of CAMRA members who have donated over £8,000 in a month. The funds will be put towards CAMRA's legal fees.
CAMRA's super-complaint argued that a lack of competition in the pub market is costing consumers £2.5 billion every year and asked the OFT to act against the large pub owning companies in order to restore proper competition.
