- Trade, Industry & Competition
- SA Legal Academy
The Competition Commission has issued a media statement drawing attention to the ‘significant legal and procedural implications’ of a 30 June 2026 Constitutional Court ruling among other things confirming that ‘the competition authorities have jurisdiction to prosecute international or cross-border cartels’.
According to the statement, the ruling clarifies:
- ‘legal and procedural principles’ to which the Commission should adhere when prosecuting cartels
- the standard with which the Commission should comply ‘when pleading a single overarching conspiracy’
- certain matters relating to exceptions and objections, and
- the interpretation of sub-section 3(1) of the 1998 Competition Act (application).
