South Korea: Kim & Chang Won Major Lawsuit Challenging KFTC’s Ruling That Platform Company’s Algorithmic Business Model Constituted Abuse of Market Dominance and Unfair Trade Practices

Kim & Chang secured a complete victory for a leading Korean mobility platform company (the “Plaintiff”) in a lawsuit against the Korea Fair Trade Commission (the “KFTC”). The lawsuit sought to revoke the KFTC’s corrective order and a fine of approximately KRW 27.1 billion. The KFTC had argued that the Plaintiff abused its market dominance by using an algorithm to unfairly favor its member taxis. The Seoul High Court accepted our arguments and overturned the KFTC’s dispositions entirely.
