Settlement Program from Thailand's Trade Competition Act B.E.2017 Perspective
Abstract
This article aims to study the settlement program in accordance with Thailand’s Trade Competition Act B.E.2560 and discusses some controversial issues relating to the settlement program. The key research question is whether there is any part in the criminal liability chapter, specifically in relation to the settlement program, of the Thailand’s Trade Competition Act B.E. 2560 that can or should be improved.
This article studies the settlement program in the Thailand’s Trade Competition Act B.E. 2560 by conducting both documentary research and empirical studies. Thailand's Trade Competition Act B.E. 2560 and the United States antitrust law were studied and a total of four interviews were conducted with experts from different fields of legal practice.
