Hello tutors, I will report if any answer is incorrect.
Business law case study, The case discusses the eight-year-long battle between the world's largest semiconductor company, Intel Corporation (Intel) and the European Union (EU). In 2009, the European Commission (EC) had imposed a 1.06 billion fine on Intel for violating the antitrust policies of the EU. The EC alleged that Intel had abused its monopoly in the computer microprocessors market by coercing manufacturers to purchase all their chips from Intel instead of rivals such as Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). After the EC handed down the fine on Intel, in 2014, the chipmaker appealed to the General Court stating that the fine was huge. However, in June 2014, the General Court upheld the 1.06 billion fine against Intel stating that the penalty was proportionate to Intel's anticompetitive practices. In August 2014, Intel appealed to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), the EU's top court, to overturn the General Court's decision. In September 2017, the CJEU ruled that the General Court could re-examine the fine against the company. The CJEU in its ruling decided in the case of Intel, the 'As-Efficient-Competitor' (AEC) test should be properly evaluated by the General Court. The General Court had to look into Intel's legal arguments more closely, giving a chance to Intel to have the antitrust fine reduced or annulled. .

7 For some time now I have been confused regarding tests for acromegaly. 1. Which is best - screening or diagnosing test in these patients? 2. Your book says the 'glucose tolerance test [GTT] is diagnostic'. Does this mean GTT with growth hormone (GH) evaluation or that a patient who is clinically an acromegalic with a positive GTT (diabetic) can be labelled as acromegalic? Incidentally, a lot of people around me are similarly confused and others have been following the latter saying that 'Kumar and Clark say so'. Please clarify.
