FAQ
What clients ask before filing
Not covered here? Ask an attorney directly during your consultation.
How long does an AMCU case take?
Usually from several months to a year.
Can I see the case file?
Yes. Parties have the right to access the case materials, except confidential information.
Can a case be closed without a fine?
Sometimes, for example by fulfilling AMCU recommendations or commitments.
What fines can the AMCU impose?
Fines are a percentage of turnover, up to 10% for anticompetitive concerted actions and abuse of dominance, and up to 5% for unfair competition.
Must I answer an AMCU request?
Yes. Failure to provide information, or providing inaccurate information, is a separate violation with its own fine.
Let's put an end to the uncertainty.
