Abstract
This paper describes the Australian Tooltechnic case, in which the antitrust authority – for the first time in history – has authorized application of resale price maintenance by that undertaking. Besides the presentation of the fact of the case, this article evaluates legal and economic arguments which determined the authorization of such practice and also their relevance for the application of Polish and European prohibition of competition restricting agreements relating to RPM.
