Illegal Competition in Algeria Law

Abstract

Commercial transactions in the market are based on the principles of freedom of competition and transparency between the economic agents involved in the economic process, and open the way for them to attract the largest possible number of customers in light of fair and free competition, but the conduct of illegal methods contrary to the law of business practices make the economic aid commit violations of unfair competition, this entails the right of recourse to the competitor who committed the violation in order to claim compensation for damages, because when the illegal competition meets its conditions and is realized, the cause of it will be the subject of judicial prosecution through what is known as the claim of unfair competition, and to suppress the latter, the Algerian Legislature has adopted a set of legal mechanisms in order to provide protection to market players, including consumers, through the practice of unfair competition on the one hand, or by resorting to the competition Council as a preventive and deterrent authority on the other.
