To summarise, essentially what happened is the CCPC received numerous complaints, mostly from individuals, expressing the belief that factories were operating in a collaborative manner outside the law. As they could not provide the CCPC with evidence of that collaboration, the CCPC was not in a position to pursue it. However, it did not even go to the factories and ask why their prices were so similar to each other.
