Legislator summary

AI generated

The Competition Authority was not permitted to order a company to provide lists of outgoing mobile phone calls for specific employees, as the company did not possess this data. The Authority argued for the necessity of such information, but the court found no support in the statute or legislative history. Consequently, the court ruled that the Authority cannot compel a company to actively obtain data from a third party when the law does not authorize such an extension of its powers.

Konkurrensverket har inte ansetts berättigat att enligt 45 § konkurrenslagen ålägga ett företag att till verket inkomma med listor med uppgifter om utgående mobiltelefonsamtal för vissa av företagets anställda - listor som företaget inte innehade - enär varken lagtext eller förarbeten till bestämmelsen ger stöd för att tillämpningen av denna skulle kunna utsträckas till att omfatta en situation som i princip skulle innebära att den som åläggandet riktar sig till inte bara åläggs att tillhandahålla begärda uppgifter utan även måste agera för att få ut uppgifter från tredje man.
