Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the appellate court's decision regarding a fine imposed for delays in executing competition law decisions. The appellant argued that a single, lower fine rate should apply to the entire period of delay, including time before the new law took effect. The court rejected this, holding that the fine must be calculated separately for the pre- and post-law periods using the respective statutory rates applicable at the time of each delay day.
