Violation
The Fair Trade Commission conducted an investigation into KADOKAWA LifeDesign, which inherited the Lettuce Club business on April 1, 2024, and subcontracted the related work to a subcontractor. It was found that the company applied the subcontracting prices that had been unilaterally decided before the inheritance without consulting the subcontractor, and did not lower or change the prices through negotiations. Based on this, the Commission issued a recommendation on November 12, 2024, pursuant to Article 7, Paragraph 2 of the Subcontractors Act, for conduct that falls under Item 5, Paragraph 1, Article 4 of the Act.
