Secondary boycotts for the purpose of causing substantial lessening of competition
45DA Secondary boycotts for the purpose of causing substantial lessening of competition
A person must not, in concert with a second person, engage in conduct:
that hinders or prevents:
a third person supplying goods or services to a fourth person (who is not an employer of the first person or the second person); or
a third person acquiring goods or services from a fourth person (who is not an employer of the first person or the second person); and
that is engaged in for the purpose, and would have or be likely to have the effect, of causing a substantial lessening of competition in any market in which the fourth person supplies or acquires goods or services.
Conduct that would otherwise contravene this section can be authorised under subsection 88(7).
This section also has effect subject to section 45DD, which deals with permitted boycotts.
A person is taken to engage in conduct for a purpose mentioned in subsection (1) if the person engages in the conduct for purposes that include that purpose.
This version of Part IV does not contain an equivalent of section 45DB of the Trade Practices Act 1974.
