FTC is different.
FTC needs to go court to block the deal and there the judge will decide… so right now FTC choose to go court to block the deal… needs to wait the court decision.
In UK CMA doesn’t need to go court… they have the power to block the deal.
CAT can’t do nothing against that… they can point things to be corrected or better explained but the final decision is still in CMA hands.
Xbots believes CAT can change the decision but that is not true… after CAT ask for corrections and/or better arguments it is CMA that decides if the corrections/arguments will block or not the deal.
Basically MS lawyers needs to convince CMA that they were wrong to the point that CMA believes their decision needs to chance.
Plus there is no more concessions… MS lawyers can’t add anything more to change the CMA decision… they need to use what was already presented to CMA.
