Mohammed is a Senior Associate with Pinsent Masons.

Abstract

 

The Competition Ordinance came into force in Hong Kong in December 2015. Since then, the Competition Commission launched its first cases targeting anti-competitive conduct, including one targeted at cartel conduct and price fixing in the construction sector.  This is not surprising given that the real estate and property management, and machinery and equipment companies have been identified by the Competition Commission as one of the areas where it has received a significant number of complaints from the public.

 

This seminar will first provide a brief overview of the First Conduct Rule (which prohibits agreements between businesses which are designed to affect competition in Hong Kong) and the Second Conduct Rule (which prohibits businesses that have a substantial degree of market power from abusing that power by engaging in conduct that has the object or effect of harming competition in Hong Kong) as well as other key features of the Competition Ordinance.

 

It will then focus on the practical aspects of competition compliance in Hong Kong given the nature of the construction and real estate industries and their significance in Hong Kong as well as to identify common scenarios that may be faced by professional surveyors as part of their responsibilities and identify practical steps that can be taken to reduce the risk of contravening the Competition Ordinance.
