Det ville bl.a. udgøre en overtrædelse af bestemmelserne i kontrakten om offentlig tjeneste, hvis CalMac ensidigt og uberettiget sænkede priserne for at drive eksisterende konkurrenter ud af markedet eller udelukke potentielle konkurrenter fra at komme ind på markedet.
In particular, CalMac would infringe the provisions of the public service contract if it were to unilaterally and unjustifiably reduce prices to drive existing competitors out of the market or to foreclose the entry of potential competitors.
