Unfair competition law
Unfair competition law is of great importance in everyday business activity. Competition in the market in goods and services is in principle a desired occurrence and has a stimulating effect on competing entities, however it can also lead to extreme and even illegal behaviours. These often take on the form of acts of unfair competition, or acts against the law or decency which threaten or jeopardize the interest of another entrepreneur or a customer.
