Price fixing, as you have rightly pointed out, is illegal and I don't
believe it is happening in the UK C-Bus market. The fact that a C-Bus item
might cost more in the UK than it does directly from Australia doesn't
mean that prices are fixed illegally. There are many legitimate reasons
why prices are different.

I don't think Clipsal or its distributors are overly choosy about the type
of projects that they would like to be involved in. Naturally, the higher
the value of a project, the better the attention it would command. The
same reaction could be applied to most businesses.
