When a business operator commits an act in violation of the restrictions or prohibition under the provisions of Article 4 or the provisions of Article 5, the Prime Minister may give an order to the business operator on the matters necessary to suspend that act or prevent them from once again committing that act, or giving a public notice relating to giving the order. The order may be given to the following persons even if the act of violation has already ceased:
the business operator who has committed the act of violation;
当該違反行為をした事業者
when the business operator who has committed the violation is a corporation and the corporation has ceased to exist as a result of a merger: the corporation that continues to exist after the merger, or is incorporated by the merger;
当該違反行為をした事業者が法人である場合において、当該法人が合併により消滅したときにおける合併後存続し、又は合併により設立された法人
when the business operator who committed the violation is a corporation: the corporation which has succeeded to all or part of the business concerning the violation from the corporation as a result of a split; and
当該違反行為をした事業者が法人である場合において、当該法人から分割により当該違反行為に係る事業の全部又は一部を承継した法人
the business operator who has acquired all or part of the business concerning the act of violation from the business operator who committed the act of violation.
当該違反行為をした事業者から当該違反行為に係る事業の全部又は一部を譲り受けた事業者
When the Prime Minister finds it necessary for determining whether a representation that a business operator has made falls under Article 5, item (i), regarding the order given under the provisions of the preceding paragraph (referred to as "order for measures" below), the Prime Minister may specify a period of time and request the business operator who has made that representation to submit materials indicating reasonable grounds that support the representation. In such a case, if the business operator has failed to submit the materials, the representation is deemed to fall under that item, when applying the provisions of that paragraph.
An order for measures is issued by serving a certified copy of the written order for measures.
