# Dominance Abuse Cases

## About This Service

The conduct of an economic agent in a dominant position falls under special control of the Law of Georgia on Competition. This page explains how dominance is determined (Article 5), which acts count as its abuse (Article 6), how the investigation of a case proceeds at the agency (Article 25) and what fines are provided for the violation (Article 33). Together these four norms build the legal mechanism that constrains the behavior of a powerful market player and gives injured parties a path of defense. Note that the law does not prohibit dominance itself — only the abuse of that power is punishable; the whole analysis turns on precisely this boundary.

### What is a dominant position?

Market power established through share, barriers and other factors; its abuse is inadmissible by law.

Unfair prices and conditions, restriction of production, discriminatory conditions and unrelated supplementary obligations.

### What fine threatens?

Up to 5% of aggregate turnover, up to 10% for repetition or irremediability; the daily fine is up to 5% of turnover.

### Who decides the case?

The agency — through investigation, a concluding hearing and the final decision; the parties receive at least 25 working days for their positions.
