The tribunal made this decision in the long-running case involving construction and engineering companies Esor Ltd, Esor Africa Ltd and Esor Construction.The matter relates to construction projects in the markets for geotechnical services including piling, lateral support, grouting and geotechnical drilling investigation services.
It said the companies colluded through “formal arrangements” until 2005 after which they engaged in “ad hoc arrangements”. It argued that the commission, therefore, could not bring the case against it in terms of the Competition Act, which — before the 2018 amendments — provided that a complaint in respect of a prohibited practice may not be initiated more than three years after the practice has ceased.
On that basis alone, the claim by Esorfranki that the commission's 2009 initiation was not valid “fell to be dismissed”.
