Asciano, Toll and DP World threatened by ACCC legal action

09 Oct 2007

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has instituted legal proceedings against former Patrick companies (now owned by either Asciano or Toll), former P&O companies (now owned by DP World) and executives for alleged contraventions of the Trade Practices Act 1974.

The ACCC alleges agreements to share motor vehicle wharf facilities to substantially lessen competition between the companies in a number of markets, and price-fixing for the provision of stevedoring services.

The accused executives have rejected the charges.
