Applications for Exemption

Applying for Guidance & Exemption

The Competition (Jersey) Law provides under Article 43(1) that undertakings can seek guidance from the JCRA on whether a proposed course of action it is considering taking would be a breach of Article 8(1) or 16(1). The Law also provides under Article 9 that the JCRA may exempt an arrangement from Article 8(1) and that any party to the arrangement may apply for such an exemption. (No exemption is available for abuse of a dominant position under Article 16(1).)

The JCRA provides an Exemption Application Form in both pdf and Word format. This is intended to assist applicants to provide information to the JCRA in a structured format and to provide some level of confidence to applicants that the information requested will generally be sufficient to assess an Application for Exemption.

Please see the JCRA Guideline Applications for Guidance & Exemption for further information regarding applying for guidance or exemption.
