Curiosity has finally got the better of me. How do some companies manage to get all of their customers to sell at the SRP without falling foul of the competition law 2004?

ETA: Maybe should of put this in SP&L so if a mod thinks it would be better there then please move it.

Hotels did it by putting 'Best price' on their own websites, then stopping any other third parties/booking agents undercutting. Think it was on Watchdog.
