Restitution in unfair competition law

The purpose of unfair competition law is to ensure fair and undistorted competition in the interest of all participants. In order to achieve this goal, some preventive and compensative legal remedies against acts of unfair competition have been envisaged. One of these remedies is the restitution, which is the subject of our study. By means of restitution, it is possible to return the competitive environment, distorted due to unfair competition, to the state before the violation. In the first part of our study, general explanations and discussions on unfair competition law are examined. In the second part, within the scope of restitution: The requests for elimination of the material situation, correction of the statements made and the destruction of goods and tools are explained. These demands have been examined in respect of: Their purpose, scope, limitations due to human rights, their execution and their relationship with similar institutions. Last part of the study has been focused on the restitution case, which is a type of case on its own. The characteristics of the case are evaluated within the framework of procedural law.
