A $150m legal claim brought against a group of shipping companies over a six-year cartel transporting cars to the UK is set to be heard in early 2025.
The 10-week trial was pencilled in on Thursday at the first hearing since English appeal court judges ruled last year that the case should go ahead.
“We will put in the diary, in pencil, a 10-week trial in the first quarter of 2025,” said Marcus Smith, the chair of the Competition Appeal Tribunal.
