Michelin v Commission [1983] Case 322/81

By Oxbridge Law TeamUpdated 04/01/2024 07:12

Judgement for the case Michelin v Commission

Table Of Contents

  • Michelin held to have dominant position in market of replacement tires of heavy vehicles.

  • Michelin argued that relevant market was broader, and was market for replacement tire in general.

  • First, looked at Interchangeability and said that clearly there is no interchangeability, but then went on to see if there could be Interchangeability from point of view from supplier!

    • I.e. if you are producer of light vehicles tiers, can switch to heavy vehicles tiers. 

Held

  • Considerable investment would be needed to modify a production plant that manufactures light tiers to produce instead to produce heavy tires.

  • Comment: Slightly confusing, why did they have to go to look at supply, they don't do this consistently anyways
