The Competition Appeal Tribunal has just refused permission to Walter Merricks to appeal to the Court of Appeal in the massive MasterCard claim because no right of appeal existed and that any challenge to the dismissal of the claim had to be made by way of judicial review (see http://www.breakinglaw.co.uk/2017/08/mastercard-claim-dismissal-appeal.html). But it went on to say that if it had had the jurisdiction to give permission, it would have refused it! To which court, if any, will Mr Merricks go next? Watch this space.
