OBLIGATION TO CONTRACT AT SPORTS GOODS BUSINESS? (OGH 26.6.2014, 16 OK 12/13)

October 30th, 2014

Even though the local supply law includes a ban of discrimination it’s not valid for delivery refusal. Therefore the delivery refusal is permitted until it threatens the local supply or the last vendor’s competitiveness. Since sports goods don’t satisfy the necessary needs for daily life the threat for local supply discards.
