Supreme Administrative Court confirms no bakers’ cartel

Delta Pekárny and Odkolek, both represented by Kocián Šolc Balaštík, won lawsuits against the Anti-Monopoly Office before the Regional Court in Brno and subsequently the Supreme Administrative Court, involving an alleged cartel agreement in the bakery market.

On 30 September 2008, the Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the Anti-Monopoly Office’s complaint to annul and confirmed the judgment by the Regional Court in Brno dated 24 August 2006, by which the Regional Court in Brno dismissed the Anti-Monopoly Office’s decision (having legal force and effect) on the existence of a cartel, allegedly taking the form of concerted conduct during determination of sale prices for bakery products.

Delta Pekárny and Odkolek are both members of the United Bakeries Group, a leader on the CE bakery market.
