Jurisdiction Overview of Unfair Business Competition Between Online Shops During The Covid - 19 Pandemic

Abstract

Technological developments have made a shift in customer behavior throughout the world including Indonesia, one of which is marked by the growth of e-commerce worldwide which is experiencing a significant increase. This indicates that people around the world are starting to move from shopping offline to shopping online. In Indonesia, the prohibition of unfair business competition has been regulated in Law Number 5 of 1999 concerning the Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition (Law No. 5 of 1999). However, under these conditions, business actors take advantage of the momentum by conducting unfair competition between business actors. Moreover, it is related to the government's policy regarding the Covid-19 outbreak, which must implement Social Distancing, where one of these policies emphasizes the community to avoid activities that are mass gatherings, so online shopping is one of the community's efforts to implement social distancing.
