Expert advice in contested Media24 print merger
Genesis was retained to assess the effects of the proposed move from joint to sole control of the Natal Witness publishing group by Media24, which had evoked substantial opposition from other media groups involved in community newspaper publishing.

Expert analysis of candle wax market
Genesis was commissioned to develop expert economic reports for a number of litigation processes in the candle wax industry, which still provides lighting for millions of households. Sasol Wax faced allegations from candle wax manufacturers of abuses of dominance in arbitration proceedings centred around a contractual dispute, as well as a similar complaint to the Competition Commission.

Critical analysis of proposed National Road Traffic Act amendments
Genesis was commissioned to provide economic advice to Johnson Crane Hire (JCH), a leading construction equipment hire company, as well as to Contractors Plant Hire Associates (CPHA). The mandate was to assess the likely impact of the Department of Transport's proposed amendments to mobile crane hire regulations in terms of the National Road Traffic Act (No. 93 of 1996).

Expert evidence in Bonitas/Pro Sano merger
Genesis was retained by the parties involved to provide a competitive assessment of the proposed merger of Bonitas and Pro Sano for filing with Competition Commission. The project team’s input was critical in helping them to demonstrate that the proposed amalgamation would have a minimal impact on competition in the medical schemes industry and supported the pro-competitive rationale for the proposed move. The parties obtained merger approval from the Commission promptly. This mitigated solvency concerns for Pro Sano.
