Happy for one to defend Pratt but a 'fair result for the customer' is just B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T.
Visy and Amcor collaborated to increase prices, they colluded in providing higher quotes and price increases. As the judge stated their actions were “inherently likely to cause loss”. This wasn't just putting prices like 'they were before', they actively increased prices and colluded on quotations.
It took years for businesses and their customers to get their money back from overcharging (see Jarra Creek Central Packing Shed), and we, the consumer as the end result, got shafted.
A settlement was reached in this case where Pratt admitted liability - end of story. Not a bad outcome for Pratt considering our pissweak civil penalties and law....
