Competition law principles in Singapore provide that a company may be liable for the conduct of another company if they belong to a single economic entity, even though they each have a separate legal personality. The CCS has used this doctrine to hold parent companies liable for the actions of their subsidiaries, and vice versa. This article discusses this process of attribution, and proposes several clarifications that may be helpful to strengthen the doctrine.
