[Webinar] Compliance Responses Regarding Antimonopoly Act Cartels and Bid-Rigging Cases - A Comprehensive Review of the Latest Cases in 2024 - Part 1
2024/ 9/ 19
Monday, August 2024, 8 Tokyo International Law Office / FRONTEO Co-hosted
Overview
In recent years, the Fair Trade Commission has been actively enforcing the law against cartels and collusion (unfair trade restrictions).
Even in 2024, numerous cease and desist orders and surcharge orders have already been issued and made public.
For example, the number of cease and desist orders and surcharge payment orders in 2023 was three, but only half a year has passed in 3, and the number has already more than doubled to seven. In addition, on July 2024, 2, it was reported that the Fair Trade Commission notified four major non-life insurance companies that it had recognized a price cartel for insurance premiums for corporate insurance contracts, and regulations against cartels and collusion are expected to become even stronger.
If a cartel or bid-rigging case is uncovered, not only will a large amount of fines be imposed, but there is also the risk that subsequent damages lawsuits and suspension of bidding eligibility will be required. In addition, the Fair Trade Commission's announcement and media coverage will inevitably damage the company's reputation.
Therefore, it is important to prevent violations before they occur and, if a violation has already occurred, to detect it early and reduce the impact by preventing or detecting cartels and collusion early, as well as taking appropriate post-incident measures.
In this seminar, a lawyer with experience working at the Fair Trade Commission will provide an overview of the latest cases of cartels and collusion in 2024, as well as explain how to prevent cartels and collusion, manage risks, and establish compliance systems.
