Abstract: Abstract This chapter describes the Brazilian experience with excessive prices as an antitrust offense since 1994. Over a period of nearly 20 years, more than 60 cases were brought without a single conviction. Discussions about the non-autonomous nature of the offense or its legal inefficacy led to removal of the practice as an abuse of dominance infringement from the new antitrust law enacted in 2012.
