Morrisons to donate £100k to COTY partners as OFT says sorry for false claims
Howard Lake | 23 April 2008 | Blogs
The Office of Fair Trading is to pay Morrisons £100,000 to settle a defamation case after wrongly reporting that it had issued the company with a warning regarding anti-competitive behaviour.
The supermarket will use the money to top-up its support for the Help the Aged and ChildLine partnership.
