| 9.1. | For the avoidance of doubt, the imposition of an administrative penalty does not preclude the Commission from pursuing other remedies that seek to address the harm caused to competition as a result of the contravention, including divestiture. |
| 9.2. | The steps outlined above reflect the general methodology that the Commission will follow in the determination of administrative penalties in respect of a contravention of section 13A of the Act. However this does not fetter the Commission’s discretion in seeking any appropriate administrative penalty in terms of section 59(2) of the Act. |
| 9.3. | These guidelines do not fetter the discretion of the Commission and/or the Tribunal and/or the CAC to consider administrative penalties on a case-bycase basis |
