The Competition Appeal Court has today, 29 May 2009, set aside the Competition
Tribunal decision that: Mittal Steel South Africa (ArcelorMittal South Africa)

flat steel products to the detriment of consumers. The matter has been
referred back to the Tribunal for:
(a) the hearing of viva voce evidence by the parties in relation to the
matters canvassed in the affidavit of Leon William Price in the
application dated 20 February 2008; and
(b) the determination, by way of an assessment of the evidence which has
already been heard by the Tribunal, whether Mittal contravened section
8(a) of the Competition Act 89 of 1998 in respect of the prices it
charged for flat steel products and any consequent relief.
