Recently, the Government of Vietnam issued Decree No. 35/2020/ND-CP elaborating several Articles of the Competition Law.
According to Decree No. 35/2020/ND-CP of Vietnam’s Government, facts and events requiring no evidence in competitive procedures include:
- Clear facts and events that are known to all people and recognized by the Commission for Handling of Competition Restriction Cases or the National Competition Commission.
- Facts and events that have been documented and notarized or lawfully authenticated. In case of doubting the authenticity of documentary facts and events, the National Competition Commission may request agencies, organizations and individuals that have provided and submitted documents to present main and original ones.
- If a defendant, examinee or person with relevant interests and obligations admits or does not object to the fact, event, record and document that the other party submits, the latter shall not be required to provide evidence. (Currently, according to Decree No. 116/2005/NĐ-CP of Vietnam’s Government, those are appropriate circumstances or events already ascertained in legally effective competition case-handling decisions of the competition-managing agency or competition case-handling panel or legally effective decisions of competent state agencies)
