Common use of Pooling resources Clause in Contracts

Pooling resources. Paragraph 22 above and the concurrency guidance provide for support to be provided by the supporting authority to the investigating authority when it is exercising its concurrent powers in a case. The CMA and the NIAUR will endeavour, so far as is reasonably practicable and permitted by law, and in light of their respective ongoing priorities and resource availability at the time, to share their resources with each other in the interests of the effective enforcement of competition law in the gas, electricity, water and sewerage sectors in Northern Ireland, and more generally the promotion of competition for the benefit of consumers in those sectors, and to ensure that their resources and expertise are used most efficiently for that purpose. This is subject to the proviso that, as stated in paragraph 5, this does not apply in relation to the functions of the CMA in its role of considering appeals against, or references related to, proposed action by the NIAUR under the sectoral statutes.
