We can only hope so. But competition law seems to be an area where it is often claimed black is white and vice versa but nothing is proven. As I said in a previous post, I wonder how the argument that having woken up to a necessity for agency pricing, the BWM members are pursuing it vigorously but totally independently. To us, it may seem obvious but will a court be convinced? They are often not.
Correct me if I am wrong but I don't think the contract dates were deliberately staggered. I think it was just the accident of when the contracts were made.
