Summary
The National Association of Speedway Racing Incorporated and the National Association of Speedway Racing Pty Ltd (together NASR) have lodged notifications for both third line forcing conduct and related exclusive dealing conduct other than third line forcing.
Under third line forcing notifications (N93297 and N93298), NASR proposes to offer and supply licences on condition that:
- the offeree only races at tracks and venues which are sanctioned or approved by NASR and
- the offeree obtain membership of the relevant national and/or state and/or regional club or association for the offeree's relevant speedway racing category.
Under exclusive dealing other than third line forcing notifications (N93299 and N93300), NASR proposes to offer and supply speedway racing licences on condition that the offeree only participates or competes in speedway racing categories which NASR approves.
On 27 August 2008, the ACCC issued notice under section 93(3A) of the Act revoking notifications N93297 and N93298 for third line forcing conduct. The immunity afforded by these notifications will cease on 29 September 2008.
The ACCC decided not to take any further action at this time with respect to exclusive dealing notifications other than third line forcing (N93299 and N93300). Reasons for this decision are also outlined in the notice.
A copy of the notice is available by clicking on the ACCC decisions link.
