£200m Mastercard settlement approved by Competition Appeal Tribunal

The Competition Appeal Tribunal has approved the settlement between class representative Walter Merricks and Mastercard, although one of the three judges described the £200 million achieved as ‘disappointing’ as compared to the £14 billion initially sought. More from the Law Gazette.

Meanwhile, professionals are reflecting on the settlement, with some taking the position that Innsworth still achieved “a good result” at the end of the day, while others are arguing that the funder was unjustly criticised for its intervention. More from Global Legal Post.
