COMPETITION COMMISSION: CONDUCT OF PROCEEDINGS RULES AMENDMENT PROPOSALS
- 07 May 2026
- Trade, Industry & Competition
- SA Legal Academy
The Department of Trade, Industry & Competition has called for input by 6 June 2026 on draft amendments to regulations under the 1989 Competition Act dealing with the breach of merger approval conditions or obligations.
Once finalised and in force, the amendments will replace Rule 39 and adjust Form CC19 accordingly.
Among other things, the proposed replacement rule removes the 10-business-day window within which an allegedly errant firm should submit a plan remedying the breach or appeal for a review. The number of days allowed would then be left to the Commission’s discretion and could vary from case to case.
