- CLP/WPI goals may only be used in court if can be computed (translated to moneyvalue)
- Always use COUNTERFACTUALRELATIVITY (CONRE) = (what would have happened in the absence of the cma’s block/clearance). this means that signals must always be construed WRT effectivecomp [=no MAP = consumers may easily switch] ?…and also, any effectivecomp must be always construed WRT the given IMS. exs: would prices have declined?. would the plc’s value be different?. would the plc’s gws quality be differfent?
- ipos generate more value than matos >> matos always willing to accept lower valuation
