The Competitions and Markets Authority (CMA) in the UK filed to try and delay Microsoft’s appeal of its Activision Blizzard acquisition decision yesterday. The Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) immediately responded with a no, so the hearing will continue on July 28th. The CMA was trying to push it all the way back to October, and the CAT ruled this would be “contrary to justice and fairness.” The timing comes curiously right in the middle of this FTC case.
