DETAILED REVIEW

1. Plagiarism
No plagiarism was detected, the author has written the article in his own words.
2. Relevancy of Content
The article deals with the anti-competitive effects of information exchanges between
enterprises and its competitor minority shareholders. Even though there is a paucity of
similar articles on the internet, the topic does not seem to be highly relevant. The
author has not cited any recent issues, court proceedings or reports which have
addressed this issue.
3. Contribution to the Field
The article makes a significant contribution to the field. The author has summarised
the relevant Indian and EU provisions and explained how minority shareholding could
lead to cartelization. Even though certain OECD papers and discussions are available
on the internet, there are no articles which directly address this issue in the Indian
context.
4. Quality of Content
In terms of legal depth and structure, the quality of content is adequate. The author
relies on various statuary provisions to indicate that minority shareholding could
potentially lead to cartelisation.
However, the article merely addresses this probable event. The author has not cited
any case laws where information sharing with minority shareholders had successfully
caused anti-competitive effects. More cases and authorities also need to be cited for
how this leads to cartelisation.
5. Use of Authorities
As discussed above, the author needs to cite more authorities.
6. Verdict – Accept with change
