Abuse of Dominant Bargaining Position and Compliance with the Subcontract Act ~ Responses Based on the Regulation/Enforcement by the Fair Trade Commission ~

Measures against abuse of dominant bargaining position and the Act against Delay in Payment of Subcontract Proceeds, etc., to Subcontractors (the “Subcontract Act”) are being enforced more strictly. This is based on government policies to improve subcontractors’ trade terms, reform working practices, and protect freelancers and smaller enterprises, so the Fair Trade Commission is enforcing measures against abuse of dominant bargaining position and the Subcontract Act more strictly in order to realize such policies.

Such stricter enforcement of measures against abuse of dominant bargaining position and the Subcontract Act is expected to continue.
