The Problem

Abstract

This year’s Adam F. Fanaki Competition Law Moot problem required participants to grapple with the competitive effects of an exclusive supply agreement between a distributor of films to independent cinemas and a chain of independent movie theatres. The Commissioner of Competition filed an application under section 79 of the Competition Act, seeking to terminate Kingsland Inc.’s exclusive supply agreement with Lion House Cinemas, alleging it results in substantial lessening or prevention of competition (SLPC).
