Competition

Business and consumers should be able to obtain good quality products and services at a fair price. Competition law aims to ensure this happens.

Organisations that restrict or distort competition or abuse their dominance in a market are liable to fines of up to 10% of worldwide turnover. Culpable individuals in such organisations also face criminal penalties. If your organisation is causing or suffering from a restriction or distortion of competition please get in touch with an expert in this area immediately.
