R v Associated Northern Collieries[1] (the Coal-Vend Case) is a decision of the High Court of Australia concerning the activities of the Coal-Vend cartel.

The convictions entered by Isaacs J in this decision were later set aside by the Full Court (Griffith CJ, Barton and O'Connor JJ) in Adelaide Steamship Co Ltd v The King.

[2] Following a trial in the original jurisdiction of the High Court, Isaacs J convicted each of the 40 defendants (16 individuals, 22 corporations and 2 commercial trusts)[1]: 396  of cartel offences against the Australian Industries Preservation Act,[3] a (now repealed) antitrust law based on the United States' Sherman Act.

Newspapers such as the Sydney Morning Herald regularly reported on the daily course of the trial.
