Unfair competition action by violation of law

You notice that one of your competitors does not comply with a legal or regulatory provision. You have even seen that this same competitor has been the subject of convictions in this respect. This violation gives him a competitive advantage, and puts him in a more favorable position compared to you who comply with the regulations.

You want to condemn your competitor, obtain the cessation of prohibited practices, and be compensated for unfair competition operated by your competitor.

The unfair competition action allows you to request and obtain:

– On-call cessation of illicit practices,
– compensation for damages suffered as a result of unfair competition by your competitor,
– publication of the judgment that can have a significant impact on your competitor’s brand image.

Beyond the legal issue, such an action may have other impacts on your business and that of your competitor:

– you can harm it by hoping for an increase in your own turnover through the acquisition of new market shares,
– You block its development possibilities,
– You damage its reputation by the publication of the judgment,
– You increase its operating costs by forcing it to assume greater burdens to comply,
– You degrade its business model,
– In addition, it will be likely to scare away potential candidates wishing to join this brand as independent distributors.
