I can't read this (paywall on AFR), but the first paragraph gives away the sentiment.
ACCC chairman Rod Sims is headed for what is almost certainly an embarrassing defeat in court following the decision to reject the Vodafone merger with TPG Telecom.
Rod Sims is kidding himself if he thinks the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission can win the federal court case defending its rejection of the $15 billion merger of Vodafone Australia and TPG Telecom.All the available evidence here and from international experience points to the ACCC suffering an embarrassing loss – just as it did in all of the high profile challenges to its rejection of merger decisions over the past 20 years.
