AI generated

The Supreme Court ruled that the procedural deadline for initiating antimonopoly proceedings begins at the end of the year in which a contract imposing burdensome terms is concluded. The Court found the lower court's interpretation flawed because it incorrectly suggested the start date was the moment the contract was signed. The decision clarifies that the timeline triggers only after the calendar year closes, ensuring proper procedural timing for enforcement.
