Public Register

Complaints on Unfair Trade Practises

This is a registry for complaints relating to unfair trade practices. Complaints forwarded to the ICCC are investigated and assessed. The outcome of the ICCC’s determination is then made known to the parties concerned.

Authorisations

This is the registry for authorisations. An authorisation is the granting of immunity by the ICCC to an applicant proposing to engage in mergers and some form of anti-competitive conduct that is prohibited by the ICCC Act. Authorisation may be given where the anti-competitive detriment is out weighed by the public benefit. Immunity granted can be revoked by the ICCC.

Clearances

Clearance is where the proposed acquisition has no substantially lessening of competition in a market. The ICCC can give clearance to businesses and individuals proposing to acquire other businesses, if the ICCC is satisfied that the acquisition will not have and will not likely to have the effect of substantially lessening competition.

Undertakings

This registry contains summaries of undertakings that the ICCC has considered for proposed mergers under authorisations and clearances applications.
