In practice, this fault encompasses various forms of abuse, unfair acts or acts contrary to the law or commercial practice.

Non-compliance with non-competition clause

To protect its legitimate interests or secrets, a company may introduce a non-competition clause prohibiting a former employee from engaging in a similar activity for a limited period, in a given geographical area and in a specific business sector. In return, the employer pays financial compensation. Despite this compensation, the former employee may violate the clause by accepting a similar position with a competitor, sometimes adding acts such as using your customer file or communicating your commercial strategy and know-how.

Disorganization

Your company may be affected if it suffers a loss of sales following the departure of several employees or managers poached by a competitor. This may include loss of contracts, theft of customer files leading to misappropriation of your clientele, or sudden breakdowns of your commitments and commercial relations with partners and suppliers. These actions, including the misappropriation of customers and the poaching of employees, disrupt the internal workings and stability of your company.

Denigration

Denigration occurs when a natural or legal person publicly discredits your company or its products and services. These remarks, often disseminated via various communication channels, undermine the honor and image of your company, thus diverting customers and damaging your reputation.

Parasitism

Parasitism is the practice of a natural or legal person following in the footsteps of another company to take advantage of its know-how or reputation in the same sector. In this way, the competitor saves time and investment, profiting from your efforts without making a fair contribution.

Defamation

Defamation involves publicly discrediting or making allegations prejudicial to the honor or consideration of an individual. These misleading statements can seriously damage the reputation of the targeted individual, creating a lasting negative impact on his or her professional and personal life.

Confusion

A competitor can confuse your customers by presenting distinctive signs that resemble yours, such as the brand name, product packaging, logo or advertising. The aim is to take advantage of your reputation and good name to unduly attract customers. Total resemblance is not necessary to establish damage

Sanctions and Remedies for Unfair Competition

In the event of unfair competition, the perpetrator is liable to be ordered to pay compensation for the damage caused and damages. Sanctions can go as far as the cessation of unfair acts. Companies suffering from unfair competition can call on the services of a private investigator to support and advise them in their efforts. The private detective can identify and gather evidence of unfair competition, identify the perpetrators and determine the underlying modus operandi, search for elements of individual participation, draw up circumstantial reports, prepare and organize the intervention of a judicial commissioner, and compile probative information. Thanks to these actions, companies can not only obtain compensation for the damage they have suffered, but also deter competitors from resorting to unfair practices in the future. By working closely with private investigators, companies can strengthen their legal position and effectively protect their sales and reputation.
