P4U went into administration three days later.<\/p>\n<p>The retailer later alleged that the mobile operators had colluded to drive them out of business and initially lodge a \u00a31bn damages claim. But the judge in a prior appeal found that all of the mobile operators had their own reasons for wanting to exit their respective agreements with P4u, which did not amount to significant collusion or anti-competitive behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>The Court of Appeal has today dismissed the latest attempt by P4u to reverse the earlier ruling (<a href=\"https:\/\/caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk\/ewca\/civ\/2025\/869\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>). &#8220;<em>In conclusion, I would dismiss each ground of appeal.
