The Market Court ruled that the Competition Authority was entitled to order an employee to attend a hearing regarding investigations into different violations than those currently under trial. The Authority argued that this procedural step was necessary to gather evidence for separate ongoing investigations, while the company contested the scope of the authority's power. The court decided in favor of the Authority, establishing that the power to order hearings extends to other investigations conducted by the same authority.
