Shares in The Warehouse, New Zealand's biggest retailer, fell sharply yesterday after Woolworths and rival Foodstuffs were blocked by a court from launching separate bids for the company.The court decision, if maintained, could see shareholders in Woolworths benefit through a big capital return; which is an option for our biggest retailer if it is blocked from spending more than & #36;1.5 billion in cash on a possible bid for The Warehouse.In New Zealand, the shares in the company (WHS) slumped 64 NZc, or 17%, to & #36;NZ3.18 in the wake of the news of the Appeal Court decision; its biggest one-day slide since May 2003. & #160;That's more than half the six-month high of & #36;NZ6.66 in December after a decision by the High Court opened the way for a takeover to proceed. Neither Foodstuffs, nor Woolworths have made a takeover offer.Woolies shares ended at & #36;25.20, up 16c, Warehouse ended down 18% in Australia at & #36;2.46.Yesterday's decision was from the NZ Appeals Court, which upheld an appeal from the NZ Commerce Commission against that earlier High Court decision.It means that just as the Australian competition Regulator, the ACCC hands a report on Australian grocery retailing, a New Zealand court has indicated there's a limit to the size the country's retailers can get by taking out a competitor.The impending ACCC report has already got the business commentators here moaning about nasty regulators and grandstanding politicians ...

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has singled out iron ore as a likely sticking point in the path to regulatory clearance of BHP Billiton’s bid for Rio Tinto. In its “statement of issues” document, a preliminary guide in which it outlines potential concerns about a proposed merger, the Commission has called for information and opinions on how the proposed merger is likely to affect the iron ore market, particularly in regard to the Australian steel industry. The Commission has also called for views on the likely impact on the supply of transport services, the supply of both metallurgical and thermal coal, bauxite, alumina and other areas of overlap, though it does not expect these areas to be “deal breakers”. The ACCC believes the proposed merger may raise competition concerns relating to the global sea-borne supply of iron ore lump and iron ore fines. The Commission believes steel makers would find it difficult and costly to alter the mix of the different forms or iron ore they use, thus limiting their options in response to any increase in the price of iron ore as a result of the merger. Competition between BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto currently “appears to have a direct impact on the outcome of annual sea-borne iron ore price negotiations and thereby influences the prices of iron ore lump and iron ore fines, including in Australia,” the Commission’s report said. The Commission noted that Brazilian producer ...
