On October 24, 2012, the UK Supreme Court unanimously confirmed a Court of Appeal judgment holding that BCL had missed the deadline to bring a claim for follow-on damages under section 47A of the Competition Act 1998 against BASF. BCL had waited more than two years after a final finding by the European Commission that BASF had participated in the Vitamins cartel.
