CALGARY, Alberta — Brad Stuart couldn't help but smile as he described his overtime goal off a shot from Joe Thornton that gave the Sharks a much-needed 3-2 win over the Calgary Flames on Tuesday.
"I didn't really do anything except let it go off me," Stuart said of his first goal of the season, which came 1:13 into the extra session. "I think it hit me in the elbow and popped down in between," Flames goalie Reto Berra's legs.
The aesthetics mattered little to the Sharks, who snapped a five-game losing streak and salvaged two points after nearly letting another victory slip through their hands. The Sharks continue their road trip in Vancouver on Thursday.
The Sharks had played some of their best defensive hockey of the season in the first 40 minutes, building a 2-0 lead on first-period goals by Logan Couture and Patrick Marleau and allowing just six Calgary shots on goal.
But that lead disappeared quickly in the third, as Kris Russell scored on the power play after Justin Braun was called for interference and Mike Cammalleri notched one at even strength for the Flames to tie the game 2-2.
Going into Tuesday, the Sharks were a combined 1-5 in overtimes and shootouts this season, including a 5-4 shootout loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday in which they blew leads on two occasions.
But Stuart's goal helped end some of that frustration.
"You feel comfortable and then all of a sudden, then boom, boom, they're right back in the game," said Thornton, who also assisted on Marleau's goal. "We were still a confident group. We had been playing well all night, and coaches told us to stay with it. … We did, and got the two points."
After lamenting the number of scoring opportunities they had given up in recent games, the Sharks made defense their first priority Tuesday. The Flames had 13 shots and starting goalie Alex Stalock was forced to make just 11 saves in getting his second career win.
Not only did the Sharks set a season record for fewest shots allowed in a game, they came within a whisker of setting a franchise record. They allowed 17 shots in a 2-1 loss to Boston on Oct. 24, and the team record for fewest shots allowed is 11 against Pittsburg in Oct. 2008.
Most importantly for the Sharks, they stayed a point back of Phoenix and moved to within four points of Pacific Division-leading Anaheim.
"It's been a long time since we felt like this," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "When you're on the bench and you're playing the kind of game that you are and in control. Then all of a sudden its 2-2, then you get to overtime and you wonder if you're going to a shootout and who's going to shoot. So it is a sense of relief."
McLellan also mixed up his defensive pairings. Stuart was with Braun, Dan Boyle was with Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Scott Hannan was paired with Jason Demers. Stuart was a healthy scratch for Sunday's game in Winnipeg, as Matt Irwin dressed in his place.
"We played a better game," McLellan said. "We came out of our end better, we were faster, and we had more offense created from the blue line, so we have to be pleased."
As a result, Stalock was the loneliest man on the ice at times, as the Sharks outshot the Flames 17-3 through 20 minutes. Stalock said it was tough to get into a rhythm after he was hardly tested in the first two periods.
"You look at the stat sheet and it's pretty evident we played a pretty good defensive game," Stalock said. "We kept their chances to very few. Offensively, it showed. If we keep the puck out of our zone, we can play fast."

In this astonishing and startling book, award-winning science and history writer Robert Whitaker investigates a medical mystery: Why has the number of disabled mentally ill in the United States tripled over the past two decades? Every day, 1,100 adults and children are added to the government disability rolls because they have become newly disabled by mental illness, with this epidemic spreading most rapidly among our nations children. What is going on?
Anatomy of an Epidemic challenges listeners to think through that question themselves. First, Whitaker investigates what is known today about the biological causes of mental disorders. Do psychiatric medications fix chemical imbalances in the brain, or do they, in fact, create them? Researchers spent decades studying that question, and by the late 1980s, they had their answer. Listeners will be startled - and dismayed - to discover what was reported in the scientific journals.
Then comes the scientific query at the heart of this book: During the past 50 years, when investigators looked at how psychiatric drugs affected long-term outcomes, what did they find? Did they discover that the drugs help people stay well? Function better? Enjoy good physical health? Or did they find that these medications, for some paradoxical reason, increase the likelihood that people will become chronically ill, less able to function well, more prone to physical illness?
This is the first book to look at the merits of psychiatric medications through the prism of long-term results. By the end of this review of the outcomes literature, listeners are certain to have a haunting question of their own: Why have the results from these long-term studies - all of which point to the same startling conclusion - been kept from the public?
"The timing of Robert Whitaker's Anatomy of an Epidemic, a comprehensive and highly readable history of psychiatry in the United States, couldn't be better." (Salon.com)
"Anatomy of an Epidemic offers some answers, charting controversial ground with mystery-novel pacing." (TIME.com)
"Whitaker tenderly interviews children and adults who bear witness to the ravages of mental illness, and testify to their newly found 'aliveness' when freed from the prison of mind-numbing drugs." (Daniel Dorman, M.D., Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, UCLA School of Medicine)

|Feel Unique
|Boudoir Prive
I have to admit, before these boxes arrived I was edging towards cancelling my Boudoir Prive subscription. They didn't seem to include as many full size products as Glossybox (I know that's a ridiculous criticism to make of a beauty sample box, but it is such a treat to receive a full size product!) and because they offer more 'luxury' brands I end up finding a product I love and then realising I would never spend that much money on the full size product (the Creme De Lite moisturiser for example, is £45 for 50ml). But when I unwrapped this month's box I was very pleasantly surprised - I have bought the rose petal salve before and loved it, the body butter smells very yummy and I am a big fan of this style of liquid eyeliner.
Likewise I was really impressed with the Feel Unique box. At £9.95 they're the cheapest boxes, and I love that, as an established beauty website you can easily buy any of the products if you like them. In particular the Tigi Catwalk Blow Out Balm is a new favourite of mine - it smells amazing and leaves my hair feeling so soft. I have only had one of these boxes so far but I would definitely be hesitant about cancelling - although they're the less well-known of the beauty boxes, for me, they're a strong contender.
Finally, Glossybox. I must admit to being slightly disappointed by this month's box. None of the products fill me with excitement - I have several nail varnishes in a similar shade and I'm always slightly unsure of skincare samples as I'm not convinced it's good for my skin for me to be using different products on it every few weeks! I know that Dermalogica are a fairly high end brand but personally I don't get that excited about facial skincare, I never really see any difference in my skin whichever product I use (hence I use Aldi's Lacura moisturiser, which costs £1.89!)
Before this month I was convinced Boudoir Prive would have to get the chop but I'm now edging towards Glossybox. At £12.95 they're the most expensive of the boxes and when I look in my tub in the bathroom of samples I probably won't try, there are more Glossybox samples in there than anything else (with the neon yellow rebel nails toenail stickers right at the top!) The only thing I'm certain of is that I'm going to carry on with Feel Unique. So, in conclusion, I'm still not sure! Help! What do you think? Are you subscribed to any? Have you been subscribed and cancelled? I need your advice!
UPDATE: I've now unsubscribed from Glossybox - thanks for helping me make a decision!

A Wild Noob Appeared (06-07-2013),dudepersonme (06-08-2013)
I have finally figured out how to complete Nythera's Saga along with the Desterrat Moya which so many people on this and the AQ forum are having trouble with. The problem was that hidden event's were not activating properly and to make it work we must activate them ourselves with the use of a bot. For people who don't use bot's we'll unfortunately I don't know. Maybe wait another year for AQW team to fix it XD
Steps to completing both Saga's
1) To complete the Desterrat Moya saga you must first finish Nythera's Saga
2) When at Northlands and speaking to Nythera you have an option to sneak or storm the castle
3) After choosing to storm the castle or to sneak, if the quest doesn't load, use the quest loader to load quest 434(Charge) or 438(Sneak) depending if you choose to sneak or charge.
4) Next when you complete all of those quests you will eventually enter the castle where there is a water drake that you kill and a button appears saying summon Nythera. After clicking on this a scene will play. If it works you will go fight the boss if it doesn't it mean that it did not register properly so you will have to load quest 443.
5) After this fight the boss and view the cutscene. You should be able to now go to old king coal and do his quests. If not that means that the previous cutscene did not work and you will have to load quest 444 then you will be able to complete old king coals quest line.
6) Now comes the quest where you get 10 chaos gemeralds to forge the C.P.S. This is even more annoying because it just randomly worked for me after 3 times of not working. After you get the items to forge the C.P.S. try forging it. If it does not work, try actually doing the quest in the browser. Now what finally got it to work for me was that I got the items then I afk'd from the game for about 20-30 minutes and loaded up Internet explorer(I was not playing anything in IE) then I was like what the heck why not try it again. Then for whatever reason it worked.
7)After that it should be all smooth sailing.
8) Once you complete all of the Northlands saga you will then be able to complete the Knave quest. Hope this helps because I know I'm glad I figured this out. Enjoy!

I read that... phew. Glad to know it works!
Ayy Lmao
this was driving me out of my mind
thank you very much
im so happy....
do... you know.... how to do rahkrams first quest?

rakham's quest.
its in your book of lore
the first one. Shape of the Ship?
oh my god, thank you
the agony of death surpasses love.
You're very welcome guys. I know this probably annoyed you as much as it did me. Unfortunately I don't know anything about Rakham's quests. I tried the first one and like you said it's bugged and the problem is it's not dropping the item necessary to complete the quest. I'll try waiting in the spot for awhile and picking it up like i did with the C.P.S. but other then that wonderful AQW will have to fix it. Sorry

In an era when Magic Johson and Larry Bird were closing out their respective careers, Michael Jordan emerged as the next idol of idols for young ballers across the nation to emulate. Before former League MVPs Allen Iverson and Dirk Nowitzki, as well as NBA Champions Lamar Odom and Ron Artest, made names for themselves in the NBA, they all grew up looking up to Michael Jordan as a blueprint of success of sorts. Needless to say, they all displayed an affinity for Air Jordans during their collegiate and pre-NBA days, and even Kevin Garnett had love for 'Baldy' during his formative years in Minnesota. Check out this great gallery of NBA pros rocking Jordans during their earlier days, and while you may expect some guys to rock Jordans, you will surely be surprised at a few. via Kenlu and NT.

By Joe Kamalick
WASHINGTON (ICIS)--Wide scale and accelerated exports of US natural gas moved closer to reality this week as a key House panel approved fast-track sales of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to virtually all foreign countries, a prospect that worries many chemicals manufacturers.
Because of newly abundant supplies of natural gas from shale formations, US petrochemicals producers and downstream chemical makers have been transformed, virtually overnight in global market terms, from being among high-cost producers to perhaps the lowest-cost manufacturers of chemicals worldwide.
But that newfound and profound cost-based competitive advantage for domestic chemical makers could be seriously undermined if too many diners crowd around the natgas banquet table.
Chemicals sector officials worry that a multi-industry ravenous rush to consume more and more natural gas ultimately could kill the goose that lays the golden egg of natgas abundance, eroding supply and driving up prices.
There are efforts afoot to broadly increase the use of natural gas as a transportation fuel, replacing gasoline and diesel as the fuel of choice for vehicle fleets such as municipal bus lines, garbage collection, freight-delivery, utilities and other vehicular service providers.
In addition, some members of Congress want to see wide scale use of natgas as a general fuel for private automobiles.
The abundant and low-cost supplies of shale gas also have accelerated fuel shifting among electric generators as more power companies switch from coal to gas - especially as the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ramps up its regulatory campaign to essentially shut down coal-fired power plants.
The prospect of ever-increasing domestic consumption of natural gas by electric utilities and for commercial and personal vehicle power was aggravated this week by the advance of legislation in the House that would broadly expand the global market for US LNG sales and accelerate the pace of regulatory approval for those transactions.
A key House subcommittee on Wednesday approved legislation to speed-up US exports of LNG and to authorise LNG sales to any member country of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
In a voice vote, the House Subcommittee on Energy and Power approved HR-6, the "Domestic Prosperity and Global Freedom Act" to amend the 1938 Natural Gas Act (NGA) so that US exports of LNG will be available to almost any foreign country.
Under existing provisions of the NGA, US LNG cargoes generally may be sold only to countries that have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US. LNG exports to non-FTA nations are allowed, but those applications are subject to additional levels of scrutiny and lengthy delays.
The US has free trade agreements with only 19 other nations, while there are 159 member countries in the WTO.
In part, HR-6 was advanced in the House in order to enable US exports of LNG to Ukraine and other nations in Europe that are dependent on Russia in whole or in part for natural gas supplies.
Before being passed by the subcommittee, HR-6 was amended to require that any LNG export application must specify the destination country.
In addition to greatly expanding the potential market for US LNG exports, the bill requires that any application for LNG export authorisation that has been pending before US regulators prior to 6 March "shall be granted without modification or delay".
According to the Department of Energy (DOE), there are about two dozen LNG export applications pending for sales to countries other than the 19 nations that have free trade agreements with the US.
The American Petroleum Institute (API) quickly welcomed the subcommittee approval, saying that the vote "is just the latest signal that momentum for action on natural gas exports is stronger than ever".
API president Jack Gerard said that he is optimistic that so-called fast-track authorisation for LNG exports will be approved by Congress, given bipartisan support for the measure in both the House and Senate.
"Now is the time to tear down our own bureaucratic hurdles to trade, create thousands of new American jobs and strengthen our position as an energy superpower," Gerard said, noting that the US is now the top natgas producer worldwide.
While approval of HR-6 was welcomed by API and other energy sector interests, some in the US petrochemical and chemical industries have expressed concern that wide scale exports of LNG could put pressure on domestic supplies and natgas prices.
The US chemicals industry is heavily dependent on natural gas as both a feedstock and an energy fuel.
Having been approved by the subcommittee, HR-6 is headed to a vote by the parent panel, the full House Energy and Commerce Committee.
Approval there is expected and the measure likely will be up for a full House floor vote later this month.
A parallel measure, S-2083, was introduced in the Senate in early March and is pending before the Senate Banking Committee.
On both bills, the American Chemistry Council (ACC) is scrupulously neutral.
"Consistent with our free trade principles, we support export of American-made products, including LNG," the council said.
"We do not have a position on bills that would alter DOE's permit review process for LNG exports," the council said.
LNG exports are just fine, the council says, as long as ramped-up foreign sales of LNG are matched by increasing domestic natural gas production.
"Government actions that create new or increased use of natural gas should be accompanied by a comprehensive policy that expands access to domestic resources onshore and offshore and develops infrastructure, such as pipelines, to transport supplies," the ACC said.
"Natural gas has enormous potential to renew and grow the American chemistry industry, the entire domestic manufacturing sector and the US economy at large," the council said, noting that increased natgas production creates jobs and spurs exports of a broad range of US manufactured goods.
However, said the council, "America needs to couple rules-based free trade principles with an 'all of the above' energy strategy to ensure we are fully developing our domestic energy resources".
Chemicals producers, the energy sector and other manufacturing interests have long complained that the Obama administration has limited and even reduced exploration and development of abundant oil and natural gas resources on federal lands and in offshore regions, complaints that have been validated by recent federal reports.
The Society of Chemical Manufacturers and Affiliates (SOCMA) similarly expressed qualified support for a broad acceleration in US exports of LNG.
SOCMA vice president for government relations Bill Allmond said that "SOCMA supports LNG exports".
"However," he cautioned, "like most legislation, there are unintended consequences."
"If a consequence of fast-tracking LNG exports significantly increases the cost of natural gas for specialty chemical manufacturers," he added, "I expect we will revisit our current support."

This blog post may take a little explaining. Okay, so the three persons are grammatical categories to divide nouns, verbs, and pronouns into. 1st Person(I, we) 2nd Person(you), and 3rd Person(he,she,it,they). As a grammar nerd and someone who has very random ideas, I decided to try a blog post on the subject. You'll have to bear with me on this, I'll try not to let it drag too much:
1st Person- I find this to be a very personal person(yes, pun intended). I noticed it's a current trend in YA fiction(Hunger Games, Divergent, Between the Lines, The Fault in Our Stars, to name a few). Sorry, I find a way to work books/movies into nearly all my blog posts. Oh, and by the way, I haven't read all of the books I just mentioned, nor would I probably recommmend any of them, I just wanted to point out their person. 🙂 I have heard that this is the wrong person to use in persuasive writing, a tip I tend to agree with but don't always follow. Alright, let's move on…
2nd Person-
You will have noticed that the above paragraph is written in the first person. You may also have guessed that this entire paragraph is written in the second person. If you have ever read a Choose Your Own Adventure story, you will probably remember the peculiar fact that you were reading one of the only fictional series to use the second person. You are getting tired of this person…
3rd Person-
Phew, what a relief to fall back into my most comfortable tense. Probably the most common of the three, it may also be a personal favorite of mine. Understandably, most books are written in the third person. Now, the only type of book not covered yet is the kind with multiple persons, for example, Enchantress from the Stars. Two thirds are written in the typical third person, but the rest is written in first person.
Well, I guess that's it, thanks for reading!

Besides the bride, the flower girl will probably be the person with the second most number of oohs and aahs at the wedding. As a member of the wedding party with the honor of preceding the bride in the entrance procession, the flower girl's dress should match the formality of the rest of the bridesmaids. Sometimes the flower girl is made to look like a mini-bride in white or ivory or she is dressed to match the bridesmaids' style and color of gown. There are many style options like length of dress, silhouette, fabric, and headpiece to consider as well when putting together a fashionable formal look for a flower girl.
Flower girls usually wear an evening type gown which could range in length from tea-length which is from mid-calf to ankle-length, to floor-length, to floor length with a train.
Silhouettes for flower girl dresses are the same for other evening dresses. There are a variety of cuts available like empire style with the waistline coming up just below the bust with a straight, loose skirt, and ball gown style with a full skirt, a-line which is fitted at the hips and wider at the hem, or bubble style with a full skirt whose hem is tucked under to create a bubble look.
Necklines and Sleeves:
Evening dresses also come in a variety of necklines and styles like square neck or halter, tank style, short sleeve, or spaghetti strap.
Colors: Flower girls have several dress color options. Some girls wear all white or ivory gowns to match the bride's dress. Other girls wear vibrant colored dresses that match the bridesmaids and quite a few wear a white or ivory dress with a colorful accent sash or ribbon that matches the bridesmaids' dresses. Flower girl dresses in turquoise and appletini are popular colors for spring while eggplant, red, or pine are popular color choices for fall weddings. Not crazy about those colors? Most dress manufacturers offer up to 40 or 50 different color choices for flower girl dresses that correspond to the bridal party gowns, so there's a color for everyone.
Flower girl gowns come in different types of luxury fabrics like taffeta, organza, lace, satin, and chiffon. The fabric choice should be determined based on the time of year.
Some dresses have flowers, beading, ribbon, sequins, and embroidery detailing added to enhance the beauty of the gown.
Headpieces are optional but could include a tiara, veil, beaded headband, or wreath.
Brides can work with their flower girl and her mom to find a look that is comfy and suitable for her to wear all day. Since flower girls can vary in age, the dress style should be age appropriate as well. Even though she'll be wearing an evening gown, a flower girl is just that, a young girl. Dresses, accessories, or hairstyles that are overdone might make your flower girl feel uncomfortable. A balance between youthfulness and conventionality makes for a fashionable flower girl.

We're pretty excited about this new addition to the Seminyak dining scene… Introducing Saigon Street!
Situated in the heart of the dining and entertaining scene of Seminyak and Petitenget, this new restaurant and bar is definitely on our 'to visit' list.
The man behind this exciting new addition is Aki Kotzamichalis, an entrepreneur from Melbourne who was an integral part of the success and running of Kudeta, is leveraging his entrepreneurial skills and footprints in Bali with one of the most exciting additions yet! By pairing one of Australia's most talented chef's with one of their most talented designers to create Saigon Street, Authentic Vietnamese restaurant.
The menu at Saigon features light, fresh and healthy dishes to be savoured and dishes to be shared and with good reason it is on our 'must do' list - borrowing from both Executive Chef Geoff Lindsay's Melbourne eatery Dandelion (an award winning restaurant in Elwood) and traditional Vietnamese flavour combinations, foodies will enjoy a wonderfully intoxicating combination of the raw and the cooked, the hot and the cold, the sweet and sour.
Dining at Saigon is an experience not just because of the delicious and classic spins they have re-created with their food but because of the fresh, appealing design created by award winning Australian interior designer, Alex Zabotto-Bentley. For those fortunate enough to book a spot here, a visual feast for the eyes and with meticulous attention to detail, design enthusiasts can relish and relax amongst an interior that juxtaposes Saigon, Barcelona and Buenos Aires.
For all our fans, we highly recommend their succulent Green Rice Fried Prawns, Soft Shell Crab Rice Paper Rolls and Pork Belly simmered with caramel and pepper in a clay pot… mmm mouth watering!
Saigon Street is located at JL Petitenget Raya No 77X, Kerobokan Bali and to book you should email firstname.lastname@example.com well in advance!

All plant ingredients in our skin and hair care products are 100% organic, certified organic or wild-crafted. Our commitment to the absolute highest quality ingredients allows each product formulation to work on an advanced level, where the plant's active constituents are not inhibited by disruptive, toxic, synthetic ingredients, which allows them to work as a whole, creating powerful synergy and unparalleled transformation.
Plants and herbs are the real, original source of active, vital nutrients for the body. The potent extracts, oils and essences of pure, whole plants offers the highest level of healing and regeneration available to the skin, scalp and hair.
These vital nutrients include anti inflammatory, antibacterial, antimicrobial, antioxidant, fatty acid, amino acid, vitamin, mineral and a vast phytochemical activity. Plant nutrients share a similar natural, molecular structure to the nutrients and oils of the body. This likeness creates a "bio-match" and has a very real vibrational alignment that absolutely brings about profound changes to the skin, scalp, hair and body.
In other words, these powerful plant ingredients facilitate and support the bodies own innate, miraculous healing abilities, allowing the body to take full advantage of these generous nutrients when needed. This whole process advances healing and regeneration of the skin, scalp, hair and body to an optimum level. It's truly an art and science.
My team and I have selected herbs and oils in each product that contain a potent, synergistic combination of active plant nutrients designed to quickly improve and transform the appearance and health of the skin and hair. The base of my skin care is anti inflammatories and antioxidants. The skin needs to be calmed and soothed with anti inflammatories so that its own natural, balanced healing process can ensue and visible changes can occur. Antioxidants neutralize molecules that damage the fibroblast cells. These fibroblasts produce collagen and elastin protein - the cells that make up the foundation and structure of the skin. These are crucial proteins that make the skin full and firm. Read more about my philosophy on skin and scalp here - MY APPROACH.

text: Human Rights Observatory International Observers Say Fiji Vote 'Credible' An international group of election monitors said Thursday that Fiji's first election since its widely condemned 2006 coup was credible. The Multinational Observer Group, which included monitors from 13 nations and the European Union, said the results of Wednesday's vote will broadly reflect the will of Fijians. With three-fifths of the ballots counted, provisional results show Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama's Fiji First party with more than 60 percent of the vote.

In a February 18 2015 judgment the Brussels Court of Appeal declared the dawn raid procedure of the Competition Authority, as set out in one of the previous versions of the Competition Act, to be illegal.
The case related to a number of decisions ordering dawn raids in the travel sector. The decisions go back to early 2006 and had been adopted on the basis of the 1999 version of the Competition Act. Under that regime, the College of Competition Prosecutors was entitled to order on-the-spot investigations autonomously, with no prior authorisation from a judicial authority. It was uncontested that the 2006 dawn raid orders had been adopted in line with the then applicable Competition Act. At that time, the act made no provision for appeal against dawn raid orders.
The travel sector case was still pending when the present Competition Act entered into force in September 2013. The competition prosecutor had filed his reports to the decision-making body of the Competition Authority, but the case was still under review at that level. On the basis of the transitional provisions of the new act, the reports which had been filed in pending cases were automatically converted into statements of objections and were subsequently subject to the procedural provisions of the new act.
One of the novelties of the new act is that it now provides for a separate appeal procedure relating to the way in which evidence has been obtained and the type of evidence in the competition prosecutor's file. However, strict conditions apply. The appeal can be launched only after communication of the statement of objections and only to the extent that it relates to evidence which is used against the parties in the statement of objections.
The automatically issued statements of objections in the travel sector case relied in part on evidence collected during the dawn raids carried out in 2006. After the entry into force of the new Competition Act, the parties in the alleged cartel all made use of the new appeal option and asked the Court of Appeal to annul the dawn raid orders. One of the arguments raised related to the lack of proper judicial supervision of these orders.
The court held that a search warrant issued without prior authorisation of a judge violates fundamental human rights, as enshrined in the Belgian Constitution, and is illegal on that ground. It also established that the plaintiffs were entitled to lodge appeals under the new act in the absence of a proper appeal procedure against dawn raid orders in the previous versions of the Competition Act.
As a result of the court's judgment, the evidence obtained in the context of the now-illegal dawn raids must be returned to the parties concerned and cannot be used against them in the context of the statement of objections. This is likely to be a fatal blow to the case.
The judgment is relevant only to cases which are still pending and where dawn raid orders were issued under previous versions of the Competition Act. Under the present version of the Competition Act, decisions ordering a dawn raid are in any event subject to the prior authorisation of a judge.
