Where official sources conflict with an article, summary, portal behaviour or earlier circular, the operative statute, Gazette instrument or current regulator publication prevails.
Competition-law currentness gate
Use this hub as a navigation layer, not as a substitute for the current instrument. For every competition-law decision, identify whether the issue is anti-competitive agreements, abuse of dominance, merger control/combination, penalty/settlement/commitment, appeal or procedural compliance, and then open the current Act, regulation, notification and form for that branch.
- The Competition (Amendment) Act, 2023 materially changed the framework; older explainers require a date gate.
- Combination analysis should be checked against the current thresholds, exemptions, deal-value/filing rules and the CCI (Combinations) Regulations, 2024 together with later notifications.
- Do not describe a transaction as “CCI approved” or exempt without the actual order/notification and facts.
- Record source publication date and review date beside time-sensitive thresholds or procedures.
