Restrictive Practices Court
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Restrictive Trade Practices Act 1956.
The registrar could refer any agreements which appeared to operate against the public interest to the Restrictive Practices Court, a senior court of record in the United Kingdom. Though the court was overhauled by the Restrictive Practices Court Act 1976 (c. 33), by the end of the century, the legislation was perceived as increasingly out of line with Articles 81 and 82 of the Treaty of Rome. The court was gradually replaced by a new judicial regime under the Competition Act 1998 and Enterprise Act 2002, and was ultimately disestablished on 10 March 2013.
