Replica Football Shirt Buyers Reimbursed by JJB Sports

Hemscott reports that JJB Sport PLC will be paying customers who purchased football shirts from them in 2000 and 2001 20.00 stg. Those specific shirts purchased were overpriced and the JJB Sports company is now taking responsibility for it. Everyone who was part of this case will receive the 20.00 stg and anyone else who comes to store after this verdict will receive 10.00 stg. Individuals who were not part of the case are able to receive payment up to February 5, 2009 for their shirt.

In 2000 and 2001, a large cartel changed the prices of England and Manchester United football shirts for extra profit which is unlawful. This affected seven different companies which were selling the shirts. The Office of Fair Trading found out about it and fined the companies 16 mln stg. Even though JJB Sports denies involvement, they were made to pay the government agency 6.7 mln stg as a fine. The company had to pay all court costs from customers’ case against them.

Those who were not part of the case against JJB Sports and bought one of these United football shirts will need to bring their shirt to the JJB Sports. If the shirt is not available, a proof of purchase will be sufficient. JJB Sports sells different sports paraphernalia such as t-shirts, caps and sweatshirts.
