Grasping the nettle - recent enforcement actions under the Competition Ordinance
Practical implications for your business in Hong Kong
2024 is a landmark year for antitrust enforcement in Hong Kong, with the Competition Tribunal being asked to rule on the Textbook Cartel earlier in the spring, the ongoing six-week trial for the first alleged abuse of substantial market power case, and the first vertical arrangement case to go to court in Q4. This is an opportune moment to reflect on the HKCC’s enforcement approach, case prioritisation and future challenges to a competition law regime in development. We are here to help you stay ahead of the compliance curve and understand the real-world risks of emerging regulatory focus areas.
The session will cover:
- Common issues arising in investigations
- Handling complex information requests and responding to the regulator
- Substantive risk areas emerging from recent cases
- The boundaries of substantial market power and assessing how those apply to your business
