The Competition Tribunal ruled in favor of Fundación Chile Ciudadano, Mr. Daniel Francisco Silva Toledo, and Mr. Gonzalo Marambio García, in a lawsuit against CAR S.A., for not complying with the general instructions that were established in the Comisión Resolutiva’s Resolución N° 666, of October 23, 2002. The defendant had to pay a fine of 200 Annual Tributary Units (around US$ 180,000).
The Tribunal stated that, from now on, CAR S.A. must act according to the new legal framework that regulates the information that those who offer credit to the general public must make available, framework that renders Resolución N° 666 ineffective.
In December 28, 2006, the Supreme Court confirmed the Competition Tribunal’s ruling, and raised the fine to 1,000 Annual Tributary Units (around US$ 900,000).
