Weis (Appellant) v Greater Manchester Combined Authority (Respondent)

Tuesday 09 – Wednesday 10 June 2026

By Appellant’s Notice submitted on 28 August 2025 the Appellant appeals a decision of the Competition Appeal Tribunal dated 24 July 2025 dismissing the claim for judicial review.

The Appellant challenged £140 million in loans from the Respondent to Renaker Group, alleging they were unlawful subsidies not made on commercial terms.

The Tribunal found the Respondent had followed a thorough, rational approval process and that the loans reflected market terms, conferring no undue economic advantage. It rejected claims of procedural unfairness and breach of candour, and dismissed the appeal.
