The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's cassation appeal regarding a competition fine imposed for predatory pricing on a specific bus route. The court found that the defendant, holding a dominant position, deliberately lowered fares below cost to eliminate a competitor, violating the Consumer Protection and Competition Act. Consequently, the court upheld the lower court's finding that these actions constituted an abuse of dominance by hindering the development of competition.
