Tesco and its lawyers in hot water.

The lawyers who acted for Tesco in Sheringham are facing an enquiry by the Competition Commission. The Competition Commission, which is already conducting a wide-ranging investigation of the grocery market, is to turn its gaze on contracts drafted by BLP between its client Tesco and the North Norfolk District Council. A spokesman said “Law firms act as the interface to these transactions, and competition law is a specialist field with which they have to interface. It is certainly an area we will be looking closely at.”
