Appeal of Commerce Commission decision declining clearance in relation to proposed
merger
SKY Network Television Limited (SKY) and Vodafone are today filing appeals in the High Court
against the New Zealand Commerce Commission's decision not to clear the two companies'
proposed merger of their operating businesses in New Zealand.
SKY and Vodafone are filing appeals within the statutory time period for an appeal in order to
preserve their rights while they wait for the release of the Commerce Commission's reasons for
its decision and have the opportunity to assess these. The Commission's reasons are
expected to be released in the coming weeks.
