Ireland 2002 Divestitures

This statutes allows the authority to condition a merger on compliance with certain steps. Kenya's statute is almost identical and Hylton said to code that as divestiture.

Art. 22(3)(c) states that a merger "may be put into effect subject to conditions specified by it being complied with."

Moreover, Art. 26(2) states that the court may issue an injunction to put those conditions into effect: "It shall be lawful for a court of competent jurisdiction to grant an injunction on the motion of the Authority or of any other person to enforce compliance with the terms of a commitment, a determi- nation or an order, for the time being in force."

Hylton: If the statute claims that the authority can condition approval on divestiture or claims the power to require divestiture in a merger context (for a violation), then code it as divestiture equals one, but include a comment that the divestiture is only for merger.
