Abstract
The publication examines the elements of restricting competition and the corresponding legal grounds for their identification. Under the legal grounds, it is proposed to understand the legal facts enshrined in the law, on the basis of which the restriction of competition through the system of its elements is determined. It is stated that such legal facts are actions containing signs of restriction of competition. For the purpose of improving legislation and law enforcement practice, it is recommended to take into account and steadily improve the system of signs of restricting competition, which form the elemental composition of violations of antimonopoly legislation, as well as public activity to identify the relevant elements in the system of legal facts.
