LAW NO. 117/2015 INTRODUCES CHANGES IN THE FIELD OF THE UNFAIR COMPETITION.

The legal dispositions define thus the notion of physical person, used by Law no. 11/1991 concerning the control of the unfair competition. A physical person is every ex-employee or present employee/representative of a company or every other person practicing unfair competition.
Moreover, Law no. 117/2015 also modifies the limits of the fines stipulated for the contraventions realized by physical persons. The limits are now between 5.000 RON and 10.000 RON.
Another novelty is that every interested person can go directly to the competent Court for the ceasing and interdiction of the disloyal competition’s practices and for the covering of the prejudices suffered because of the disloyal practices.
