Description: Antitrust From Around The Globe
Daniel Aston, managing director of the online poster supplier Trod Ltd, has given a disqualification undertaking not to act as a director of any UK company for 5 years.
The Competition and Markets Authority ( CMA ) may, under the Company Directors Disqualification Act, seek the disqualification of an individual from holding company directorships where that individual has been director of a company which has breached competition law.
This is the first time the power has been used for competition law breaches since it came on the statute book.
