Comity Sample Clauses

The Comity clause establishes a principle of mutual respect and recognition between the legal systems or authorities of different jurisdictions. In practice, this clause may require parties to acknowledge and, where appropriate, give effect to the laws, judgments, or official acts of another country or state, provided they do not conflict with fundamental public policy. Its core function is to facilitate cooperation and reduce legal friction in cross-border matters, ensuring smoother enforcement of rights and obligations when multiple legal systems are involved.
Comity. 1. The Parties agree that, whenever the Commission or the South African Competition Authority has reason to believe that anti-competitive practices, defined under Article 35, are taking place within the territory of the other authority and are substantially affecting important interests of the Parties, it may request the other Party's competition authority to take appropriate remedial action in terms of that authority's rules governing competition. 2. Such a request shall not prejudice any action under the requesting authority's competition laws that may be deemed necessary and shall not in any way encumber the addressed authority's decision-making powers or its independence. 3. Without prejudice to its respective functions, rights, obligations or independence, the competition authority so addressed shall consider and give careful attention to the views expressed and documentation provided by the requesting authority and, in particular, pay heed to the nature of the anti-competitive activities in question, the firm or firms involved, and the alleged harmful effect on the important interests of the aggrieved Party. 4. When the Commission or the Competition Authority of South Africa decides to conduct an investigation or intends to take any action that may have important implications for the interests of the other Party, the Parties must consult, at the request of either Party and both shall endeavour to find a mutually acceptable solution in the light of their respective important interests, giving due regard to each other's laws, sovereignty, the independence of the respective competition authorities and to considerations of comity.
