The Court of Appeal has set 29 April -1 May 2008 as the dates for the Commerce Commission’s appeal against the High Court’s decision to be heard. The High Court’s decision in November 2007 cleared the way for the three Foodstuffs co-operatives or Woolworths Ltd to acquire up to 100% shares in, or assets of, The Warehouse Group Ltd.

There will be no further comment while the case is before the courts.
