BT carried out ‘abusive’ pricing practices, £1.3 billion class action told

BT CARRIED out “abusive” pricing practices against landline customers who should be compensated between £300 and £400 each, the Competition Appeal Tribunal heard today.

Collective Action on Land Lines (Call) founder Justin Le Patourel has launched a class action claim against the firm for £1.3 billion in compensation.

His counsel Ronit Kreisberger KC accused BT of charging customers “excessive and unfair” prices for stand alone landlines and calls in violation of its special responsibility as a dominant firm under section 18 of the Competition Act.
