Article 2 I1I2
United Kingdom
This article applies to an agreement between a hall owner and an unconnected exhibition organiser which imposes any restriction on the person or persons who may provide electrical contracting services to exhibitors at an exhibition organised by the exhibition organiser in a London exhibition hall belonging to the hall owner other than—
a requirement to use the electrical contracting services of only any person who meets any standards which the hall owner has specified and which are objectively justified in respect of the provision of the particular services to be offered or provided at the exhibition;
a limit, not being less than two, on the number of persons who may provide such services.
Subject to Article 7 below—
the parties to an agreement to which this article applies made before 1 September 1996 shall terminate it before that date to the extent that it contains restrictions by virtue of which this article applies to it; and
it shall be unlawful for any person to make or carry out an agreement to which this article applies except to the extent that it does not include restrictions by virtue of which this article applies to it.
For the purposes of paragraph (1) above, an agreement which imposes a restriction on the person or persons who may provide electrical contracting services includes one which provides that the use of the services of any person or persons is subject to conditions or restrictions which do not apply in respect of the use of any other particular person or persons or that it is otherwise less advantageous to the exhibitor.
