The necessity of law in upholding the principles of the constitution, particularly in governing various aspects of people’s lives, notably its enforcement and impact on economic advancement, holds significant importance. Economic law emerged in response to the rapid expansion and progress of both domestic and global economies. Across nations, legal frameworks are utilized to regulate and supervise economic and socio-technical activities, ensuring that economic progression does not compromise individuals’ rights and welfare.

Such anti-competitive practices are unjust and disadvantageous to consumers. In the global context, fostering healthy business competition is crucial to preventing detrimental business practices and promoting fair economic competition.
