Should I fear the Competition Commission?
06 April 2022, Luhann Prinsloo, Millisanté de Wee
Our clients are often concerned about the Competition
Commission and implications for their merger or acquisition (M&A)
transaction. Firstly, we... can reassure that not all transactions fall within the
realm of the Competition Commission’s domain, and secondly, even if it does,
the Competition Commission is not there to stop commercial transactions, but
rather to regulate them to ensure that the public is not unfairly prejudiced by
such a transaction.
