Predatory pricing

Term · Law · MLC-T-LAW-003835

The practice of setting prices extremely low to drive competitors out of the market, with the intent of raising prices once competition is eliminated. This strategy is considered anti-competitive and illegal under antitrust laws. Proving predatory pricing requires demonstrating that the prices are below cost and that there is a reasonable prospect of recouping losses through higher prices later.
