Neutral Citation Number: [2020] EWCA Civ 13

The Court of Appeal has upheld the CMA’s finding that a golf equipment supplier acted illegally by banning online sales of its products.

The Court of Appeal’s judgment dismissed an appeal made by Ping Europe Ltd against an infringement decision and £1.25 million fine, after the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) found it had broken competition law by stopping retailers from selling its clubs on their websites.
