Abstract
This article points out a series of shortcomings related to the recent amendment to the Act on Competition and Consumer Protection that came into effect on 18 January 2015. First and foremost, the article enumerates those legal mechanisms which were not (and yet should have been) included in the amendment. They include: proper guarantees of the right to be heard, amendments to administrative hearings, and legal professional privilege. The second part of the article takes a deeper look at new legal instruments introduced into the Competition Act by the amendment – the settlement procedure and financial liability of managers. The Authors list deficiencies within their scope, and make an attempt at suggesting ways to improve them by making de lege lata and de lege ferenda proposals.
