Guideline on Anti-Competitive Arrangements


This guideline is designed to explain to businesses the provisions in the Competition (Jersey) Law 2005 which relate to anti-competitive arrangements. It explains the different types of anti-competitive arrangements, how to avoid these, how to apply for an exemption, and what to do if you find a business has been involved in anti-competitive arrangements. Finally, the JCRA’s leniency policy is set out a chapter 12, for any businesses willing to end their participation in a cartel.

This guideline consolidates six of the JCRA’s former guidelines: Guideline 1 Anti-competitive Arrangements, Guideline 2 Cartels, Guideline 3 Trade Associations, Guideline 4 Vertical Arrangements, Guideline 6 Applications for Guidance and Exemptions and Guideline 8 Leniency.
