Unfair Competition Law in Slovenia.

The basis of competition law in Slovenia is represented by a series of constitutional provisions enabling the independence of legal entities.1 The main constitutional provisions are as follows: Art. 33, private property rights; Art. 49, rights on the freedom of employment; Art. 74, freedom of commercial initiative; Art. 74(2) the prohibition of unfair competition; and Art. 74(4) on certain acts restricting competition. Article 74(4) is a quite a nomotechnical curiosity in comparative constitutional law. Even though the Constitution introduced a negative definition for the restriction of competition (i.e. the following acts are shall be prohibited ...), restrictions may not be considered as absolute because the subsumption is left over to the law.
