Abstract:
The growing significance of abuse of dominance law and economics is underscored by the seriousness with which lawmakers and regulators around the world are increasingly viewing violations of it and the record-breaking size of fines recently imposed. In Singapore, the Competition Commission of Singapore has issued its first ever infringement decision for abuse of dominance under s 47 of the Competition Act. This article examines, with particular reference to the SISTIC decision, issues relating to what approach is acceptable, and what elements are required to be shown, in establishing that conduct of a dominant undertaking is “abusive” under s 47.
