Abstract
This chapter provides an outline of the operation of Chapter II Prohibition, pointing out the relevant guidelines and decisions. This Chapter II Prohibition, contained in section 18 of the Competition Act 1998 (CA), is the UK domestic equivalent of Article 102 TFEU. It is to be applied, and its terms interpreted, in a way that is consistent with the application of Article 102 TFEU, unless there is a ‘relevant difference’. If Article 102 TFEU is applicable to any practice being examined under Chapter II Prohibition, it must be applied. A breach of Chapter II Prohibition may incur penalties, damages, and a requirement of conduct modification.
