What is unfair competition?
Unfair competition is a set of competitive practices whose nature is contrary to customs and the law. These abusive acts are proven by the accumulation of a loss, a fault and a causal link.
Acts of unfair competition include denigration, imitation, disorganisation and free-riding. The detection of these practices means that sanctions of a civil nature may be imposed. These are mainly the application of damages, the cessation of unfair conduct and ancillary measures.
Providing evidence of unfair competition
Do you suspect that your competitor is acting unfairly? A bailiff's report is the most commonly used technique to prove unfair competition. To do this, you need to ask a judge for authorisation to make use of a court-appointed bailiff.
The procedure under Article 145 of the Code of Civil Procedure aims to establish proof of the unfair competitor's activities in the event of a future lawsuit. The competitor is not notified in advance of the bailiff's arrival, and this procedure is not adversarial in any way.
Setting up a non-competition clause
A non-competition clause can be inserted into the employment contract of each employee. This clause states that the employee may not perform equivalent functions with a competitor or on their own account after the contract has been terminated.
Note that such a clause must also meet the cumulative criteria defined by case law to ensure its validity. Our experienced detectives can provide you with the advice you need in this regard.
The use of a private investigator to establish evidence of unfair competition
The law does not provide any pretext for unfair competition. For this reason, it is necessary to use the services of a private detective to establish proof of wrongdoing on the part of your competitor.
Our private investigators will draw up a report to gather all kinds of evidence of unfair competition. This report is a piece of evidence that will then be checked by the judge to establish the facts of the unfair competition practices.
