The mission of The Compassionate Friends: When a child dies, at any age, the family suffers intense pain and may feel hopeless and isolated. The Compassionate Friends provides highly personal comfort, hope, and support to every family experiencing the death of a son or a daughter, a brother or a sister, or a grandchild, and helps others better assist the grieving family. The Compassionate Friends was founded over 40 years ago when a chaplain at the Warwickshire Hospital in England brought together two sets of grieving parents and realized that the support they gave each other was better than anything he, as a chaplain, could ever say or provide. Meeting around a kitchen table, the Lawleys and the Hendersons were joined by a bereaved mother and the chaplain, Simon Stephens, and The Society of the Compassionate Friends was born. The Compassionate Friends jumped across the ocean and was established in the United States and incorporated in 1978 in Illinois. Each chapter, along with the supporting National Office, is committed to helping every bereaved parent, sibling, or grandparent who may walk through our doors or contact us. Today TCF has nearly 600 chapters serving all 50 states plus Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and Guam, that offer friendship, understanding, and hope to bereaved parents, siblings, grandparents, and other family members during the natural grieving process after a child has died. Around the world more than 30 countries have a Compassionate Friends presence, encircling the globe with support so desperately needed when the worst has happened.

The Competition Tribunal was established in 1998 by the Competition Act. In 1998, the democratic government of South Africa established a new framework of competition regulation. Three independent bodies, which replaced the Competition Board, were created by the Act. These are the Competition Commission, the Competition Tribunal and the Competition Appeal Court. This Act also made it compulsory for firms to notify the Commission and/or the Tribunal about mergers and acquisitions above a certain monetary threshold. The Commission is the investigation and enforcement agency. The Tribunal is the adjudicative body, very much like a court. The Appeal Court considers appeals against decisions of the Tribunal. In practice, the Competition Act regulates two broad areas of competition: mergers and acquisitions and prohibited practices (anti-competitive conduct). In relation to mergers, the Commission investigates and makes a decision about intermediate mergers. With large mergers however the Commission conducts an investigation and makes a recommendation to the Tribunal for decision. In respect of prohibited practices, the Commission investigates and may, when it so determines, refer such matters to the Tribunal for prosecution. Sometimes the Commission and the party under investigation will agree the terms of a settlement. In this case the Tribunal must decide whether to confirm the agreement in order to give it the force of law. Private parties may also approach the Tribunal for interim relief in prohibited practice cases. The Tribunal is required to hold hearings in each matter. Its proceedings are open to the public. In almost all cases, apart from a few procedural type cases, three Tribunal members must hear a case and make a decision. Once the Tribunal has arrived at a decision, it publishes its reasons on its website. Visit the Tribunal's website for its latest decisions and upcoming cases.
