Supreme Court dismissed appeal holding that proving one anti-competitive practice does not prove another distinct violation.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeals filed by the plaintiff and the interested party against the President of the Competition and Consumer Protection Office. The court noted that while the administrative authority found the defendant committed a prohibited practice by offering unfavorable transport conditions, this did not automatically constitute a separate violation under Article 8(2)(5) of the Competition and Consumer Protection Law. The court rejected the argument that new circumstances regarding market competition justified altering the immediate enforceability of the decision based on different legal grounds.
