Natural justice required the competition regulator to issue an action-oriented notice before departing from the Director General's findings. The Tribunal held that the Commission's directions on disclosure of pricing or discounting policy and on end-use restrictions varied from the investigation report, yet no effective opportunity was given to rebut that proposed disagreement.
