This Law provides for acts of restraint of competition, economic concentration affecting or potentially limiting competition to the Vietnamese market; unfair competition acts; competition proceedings; handling violations of competition law; State management on competition.

Therefore, leniency can be used as an additional method in collecting evidence, greatly reducing investigation costs as well as trial costs for both competition authorities and courts.
