1. Vigorous price competition is generally beneficial to consumers. However, low prices can raise competition law concerns where they are part of a pricing strategy entered into or undertaken by a firm that is dominant/has substantial market power and is aimed at excluding or weakening competition. 1 The purpose of competition law is to protect competition rather than individual competitors. The focus should therefore be on the impact of the pricing strategy on the competitive process and ultimately on consumers.
