On the Formation of Evidentiary Antitrust Law

This article addresses the issues of evidence and proof in cases of antitrust law violations, presented from the perspectives of both competition law and arbitration process. The aim of the study is to justify the necessity of establishing an institution of evidence and proof as a distinct structure within competition law. General scientific methods are used as methods: induction, deduction, modeling. The results of the study represent several ways of forming the institution of evidence and proof in competition law: 1. based on the material of one of the procedural codes, 2. as an independent institution of competition law without the application of procedural codes, 3. or with the application of reference norms based on (or linked to) one of the procedural codes. Conclusion dwells upon the necessity of creating an institution of evidence and proof in competition law, which will contribute to the improvement of law enforcement and reduce the number of judicial errors in cases arising from antitrust law violations.
