New guidance on penalties for breaching competition law
The OFT has published new guidance on how it will set penalties for breaches of competition law. The guidance will allow the OFT to continue to set substantial penalties to deter anti-competitive activity while ensuring that penalties are proportionate in the specific circumstances of individual cases.
As required by law, the guidance has been approved by the Secretary of State.
The OFT decided to update its guidance in the light of its experience of applying penalties and recent judgments of the Competition Appeal Tribunal and the Court of Appeal. The OFT has carried out a wide-ranging public consultation, involving lawyers, businesses and other interested parties, and drawing on international experience.
The new guidance sees the maximum starting point for penalty calculations increase to 30 per cent of relevant turnover, from 10 per cent. This change gives the OFT the ability to set penalties which better reflect the gravity of different types of infringements, in particular for the most serious breaches of competition law, such as hardcore cartel activity and serious abuses of a dominant position. It brings the OFT in line with the approach of the European Commission and many European competition authorities.
The guidance introduces a new step in the calculation of penalties. The OFT will consider specifically whether a penalty is proportionate 'in the round'. Previously proportionality was considered when applying the other steps of the calculation. This change is intended to ensure that, overall, penalties are not disproportionate or excessive in the particular circumstances of the case.
Other changes to the guidance clarify or provide additional transparency about how penalties are calculated, including:
Clarification that the turnover used for calculating the penalty starting point will be based on the last business year before the infringement ended.
A new formal step at which leniency and settlement discounts are applied.
Additional detail on the OFT's approach to awarding discounts for companies taking appropriate steps to comply with competition law. For example, in line with the suite of materials the OFT has published to assist businesses' efforts to comply with competition law, the guidance now notes that evidence of appropriate compliance activities both before and after an infringement could in principle warrant a modest reduction in penalty, depending on the facts of the case.
Jackie Holland, Senior Director of OFT's Policy Group, said:
'We now have a wider range of starting points for penalties, in order to reflect better the seriousness of different types of infringements and deter anti-competitive activities, while ensuring that penalties are fair and proportionate.
'The changes reflect our experience in applying the guidance in a series of cases, as well as recent court judgments. They also incorporate international best practice. We hope that they will give businesses and their advisors even greater clarity and transparency about our approach to setting penalties.
'We are grateful to everyone who engaged with us during the consultation process.'
Download the new guidance (pdf 403kb)
The OFT is responsible for applying and enforcing the Chapter I and Chapter II prohibitions of the Competition Act 1998 (the CA98), which prohibit agreements preventing, restricting or distorting competition in the UK as well as certain anti-competitive conduct by undertakings holding a dominant position. The OFT also has powers to apply and enforce Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (the TFEU), which are similar to the Chapter I and II prohibitions, but which apply to agreements or conduct which may affect trade between Member States of the European Union.
Under the CA98, the OFT, as well as the sector regulators with concurrent powers, may impose financial penalties on undertakings which have breached the Chapter I or Chapter II prohibitions of the CA98 or Articles 101 or 102 of the TFEU, up to a maximum of 10 per cent of their worldwide turnover.
The CA98 requires the OFT to prepare and publish guidance as to the appropriate amount of any penalty under the CA98. The CA98 provides that prior to preparing or altering such guidance the OFT must consult such persons as it considers appropriate, including the sector regulators with concurrent powers.
Guidance must be approved by the Secretary of State before it can be published. The obligation to prepare and publish guidance is on the OFT alone, but the OFT and the sector regulators with concurrent powers under the CA98 must have regard to the guidance when setting the level of a penalty for breaches of the CA98 or the TFEU.
The Guidance sets out a six step procedure comprising a starting point based on an undertaking's relevant turnover followed by a number of adjustments. 'Relevant turnover' is the undertaking's turnover in the product and geographic market in which the infringement took place. Adjustments to the starting point are designed to reflect various factors that may be present in particular infringements including their duration, any aggravating or mitigating factors, deterrence and proportionality considerations and any reductions as a result of leniency or settlement.

'That's the beauty of Paul' - Solskjaer wants influential Pogba amid Madrid links
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants Paul Pogba to be influential at Old Trafford as the Manchester United star continues to be linked with LaLiga giants Real Madrid.
Zinedine Zidane has made no secret of his appreciation for Pogba, who said it would be a "dream" to play for the Real Madrid head coach during the international break.
Pogba and his United team-mates struggled in an underwhelming 2-1 Premier League victory over Watford on Saturday – Solskjaer's first match since being appointed manager on a permanent basis.
And amid Madrid's interest, Solskjaer praised Pogba as he outlined his plans for the France World Cup winner in Manchester.
"We want Paul to be both on and off the ball a good player for us," Solskjaer said.
"We want him to be influential with the way we play. Sometimes that means up as an eight into the box, sometimes to control the game, drop down deeper.
"Against Watford he had to drop down to get a hold of the ball. Every single game is going to be different until the end of the season.
"We haven't really nailed down one way of playing. We've got three or four different ways of playing. That's the beauty of Paul – that he can do both."
"We can improve on that one."— Manchester United (@ManUtd) March 31, 2019
Ole joined us on #MUTV after yesterday's game... pic.twitter.com/F0oOm25bNx
Solskjaer also responded to former boss Louis van Gaal's claims that United have been guilty of "park-the-bus tactics" under the Norwegian.
Next up for Manchester United is a meeting with Wolves on Tuesday before the focus turns towards a clash with Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-finals.

PERFECT SENSE - A Review
This is the ad copy:
With this routine, you have the SUPERHUMAN ABILITY to sense the IDENTITY of individual cards from a SHUFFLED DECK left in the spectator's hands!
Say hello to Perfect Sense by Daniel Hiew. A color sense card trick inspired by Asi Wind's Red and Black.
You start by SHUFFLING the cards or have your spectator cut anywhere they want. You deal the cards into two piles, and they get to choose any pile they want. Now, you demonstrate your superhuman "sixth sense" ability.
With Perfect Sense, you will not only be able to tell the color of the cards but also sense the suit, value and ULTIMATELY THE EXACT IDENTITY of EACH CARD! All done with a NON-MARKED DECK!
If you wish, you can instantly REPEAT the trick WITH NO RESET.
In this project, Daniel will share with you the details and subtleties in a crystal-clear manner.
What are you waiting for? Equip yourself with Perfect Sense and demonstrate your sixth sense with ANY pack of cards.
Buy Perfect Sense and start streaming NOW.
No marked deck.
The spectator can cut the deck as many times as they like!
The cards can be SHUFFLED!
Repeat instantly WITH NO RESET.
No crazy memorization.
Easy to perform. Almost self-working!
Blindfolded routine included.
Download the video and start learning!
My Thoughts:
I like this effect. I admit I'm not familiar with Daniel Hiew, but that's my problem. I'll start by saying this is a mathematical effect.. which I know will scare some of you.. but it shouldn't. It's not that you have to perform mathematics, it's that the effect works because of mathematics. If you follow the instructions.. Perfect Sense is almost self-working.
The performer shuffles the deck and the spectator cuts the deck, several times if they wish. Twenty cards are dealt off the top of the deck into two piles by placing one card in pile one and the second card in pile two.. The performer then deals the third card onto whatever stack is designated by the spectator and then deals a fourth card onto the other stack. This sequence is continued, with the spectator selecting which pile receives the next odd card until all twenty cards are dealt. ( see the video )
The spectator then makes a choice of which stack to keep.. and the other stack is returned to the deck. The performer is now able to name the color of the top card, the suit of the next card, the value of the third card, and the value and suit of all other cards in the stack. Actually, he could name the value and suit of all ten cards if he wanted to... There is even a method that allows the performer to perform this while blindfolded.
In all fairness to the buyer, there IS a simple stack involved. There is also a certain order to the cards and you need to figure a simple two-card total throughout the effect. If you can add a 7 and a 6, for example, you can easily do everything required.. This is NOT hard stuff folks....
The amount of work by the performer is minimal.. compared to the amount of mystery created for the spectator. As performers, we often have to ask ourselves "Is it worth it ?"... In this case.. "Yes.. definitely."
Perfect Sense is an instant download. There is 28 minutes of instruction.. and the video and sound quality are typical of Murphy's Magic offerings. There is a bit of a dialog issue, as English is not Daniel's first language.. but it's not enough of an issue to fret about. I understood all the instructions.. and I'm sure you will too. Someone will inevitably complain though, so I'm going to touch on it for good measure.
Go to the site and watch the video. That will give you a good sense of the effect and how it plays. I am recommending it to Magic Roadshow readers and my FB friends.. Enjoy !

A good review. As matter of fact this review persuaded me to purchase the download.
The math required is very basic that a third grader could do.
Toss in a false shuffle and the spectator having a choice in card selection should eliminate any suspicion of a memorized deck.
Would love to chat to any others who have the download and liked it.

Kobe Bryant's sixth signature shoe with Nike is making a triumphant return in 2020.
Kobe Bryant is one of the most legendary players in the history of the NBA. While this is a fairly obvious statement, it's important to repeat it. Bryant and his daughter Gianna tragically passed away in a helicopter crash back in January, and over the past eight months, there have been numerous tributes to the lives that were lost that day.
In response to Kobe's death, Nike stopped coming out with new Kobe shoes, as they didn't want to come across like they were taking advantage of the tragedy. About a month ago, Nike celebrated Mamba Week by coming through with some Nike Kobe 5 Protros, and now, heading into 2021, the brand is looking to bring back the Nike Kobe 6. In fact, numerous colorways have been teased for next year, including the infamous "Chaos" model. According to @soleheatonfeet, this shoe will boast an "Ink/Dark Grey/White/Volt" color scheme and will drop during the Summer of 2021.
Fans are excited to see the return of these Kobe 6 colorways, especially since the silhouette is one of the most beloved in Bryant's sneaker library. Over the course of the next few months, more information is slated to be revealed in regards to this model so stay tuned, as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest updates.
