Dominance
(Section 7 of Act)
Market share exceeds 80 % (eighty per cent) of managed care market. PPN thus has the market power to act independently of its customers, competitors and/or its suppliers
KFML is dominant firm - dominance of PPN and optometric groupings.
Turnovers exceeds the thresholds promulgated under Section 6 of the Competition Act and in turn, so would the consolidated turnover of KFML

Dominance
Practicing optometrists are forced to become PPN providers and thus are
compelled to provide professional services and spectacles at prices
determined by PPN to the beneficiaries of those medical schemes contracted
with PPN
Should practitioners not participate in PPN contracts with medicals
schemes which have relevance to those practitioners, there are deleterious
consequences in that patients may be forced to seek services from
alternative practices which are contracted to PPN
