Regulations on unfair trade practices
(Abuse of a superior bargaining position)

If a company at a superior bargaining position against a business partner imposes unreasonable disadvantage on the partner, this is called "abuse of superior bargaining position.
See actual case examples.
As you can see in the above illustration, acts conducted by a large supermarket such as coercive sale, unreasonable return of goods, requesting to dispatch employees and make a monetary contribution are prohibited as a type of unfair trade practices.
Many such cases have been seen in transactions with subcontractors. Under the Subcontract Act, a supplementary law to the Antimonopoly Act, more detailed restrictions are imposed on unfair conducts. The Subcontract Act prohibits a delay and reduction in the payment of subcontract proceeds, refusing to receive work from a subcontractor, the return of merchandise and other ill-treatments of subcontractors. The Fair Trade Commission promptly investigates violations to protect subcontractors.
