Digital Competition Bill opens room for parallel probe against firms

The Draft Digital Competition Bill has set out a process for investigation of the contraventions listed in the Bill in line with the similar process in the parent Competition Act

Big tech companies could face parallel inquiries for similar contraventions under the proposed Digital Competition Bill and the existing Competition Act, according to legal experts.

The expert response comes after a government-appointed panel proposed ex-ante competition regulations for big tech players to ensure proactive monitoring of their behavior and curb any possible unfair business practices.
