South Africa Competition Act 89 of 1998 8-1cd: Dominant firms: no exclusionary acts without outweighing pro-competitive gains

What does 8-1cd require?

A dominant firm must not engage in an exclusionary act whose anti-competitive effect is greater than any technological or efficiency benefit or other gain for competition (section 8(1)(c)), and must not engage in the listed exclusionary acts unless it shows that such benefits outweigh the anti-competitive effect (section 8(1)(d)): pressing or inducing suppliers or customers to stop dealing with a competitor; withholding scarce goods or services from a competitor or customer when supplying them is economically feasible; tying the sale of goods or services to the purchase of unrelated goods or services, or forcing acceptance of an unrelated condition; predatory pricing; buying up scarce intermediate goods or resources a competitor needs; and margin squeeze. The burden of justification is on the dominant firm for the listed acts.
