Which? consumer association is planning to sue JJB Sports under a class action by way of the Enterprise Act 2002 to recover £20 or so for certain over-priced England and Manchester United replica shirts.

Though various companies were fined for price fixing and anti-competitive behaviour consumers have been left out of pocket but following a rejection of an appeal by JJB Sports by the House Of Lords in February consumers can now attempt to obtain redress.
