The Court held that the Competition Commission lawfully referred the complaint to the Tribunal within the extended period agreed under section 50(4)(a) of the Competition Act.

South African Raisins (Pty) Ltd. and Another v S A D Holdings Ltd. (176/2000) [2000] ZASCA 60; 2001 (2) SA 877 (SCA); (29 September 2000)

The Supreme Court of Appeal held that the Competition Act applies to the raisin industry because there is no existing directive, regulation, or authorisation under the Marketing of Agricultural Products Act that governs monopolistic or anti-competitive acts in the sector. The Marketing of Agricultural Products Act is merely enabling and does not itself constitute public regulation for the purposes of s 3(1)(d) of the Competition Act.
