Abstract
The author examines the principle of substance over form within the context of the evolving competition law branch. By analyzing specific cross-cutting applications of this principle across various institutions of competition law, the author concludes that further research into this principle is essential. Additionally, the author highlights the critical role of judicial review and interpretive acts issued by the antimonopoly authority in ensuring the effective implementation of this principle in competition law.
