BAA is to appeal to the Supreme Court in the next stage of the legal process surrounding the Competition Commission’s investigation of its airport ownership.
The Court of Appeal today overturned a Competition Appeal Tribunal judgement in favour of the Competition Commission.
However, the court accepts that apparent bias existed during part of the Commission’s investigation, and BAA now plans to prepare an appeal for the Supreme Court.
A BAA spokesman said:
“We are disappointed that the Court of Appeal has upheld two of the five grounds argued by the Competition Commission.
“We note the Court’s view that apparent bias in relation to a panel member existed during part of the Commission’s investigation and will study this judgement carefully.
“We will be seeking permission to appeal to the Supreme Court.”
