Predatory Pricing in Japan – The Battle Between Yamato and Japan Post in the Parcel Delivery Market Simon Vande Walle (European Union)
Abstract: This article summarizes and comments on Yamato v. Japan Post, one of Japan’s leading cases on predatory pricing. The case clarified the test to assess whether prices are predatory and, hence, unlawful. The case was triggered by the introduction of a new price scheme by Japan Post. Yamato alleged the new prices were predatory and sought injunctive relief before the courts. The Tokyo District Court in 2006 and, on appeal, the Tokyo High Court in 2008 both sided with defendant Japan Post and dismissed the lawsuit.
