This key book, now in its fifth edition, provides the reader with an in-depth introduction to the competition law of the EC and the UK. It looks at the constituent parts of the law, analysing the way in which the law affects particular commercial phenomena, and explains the economic context in which competition law operates. There have been significant developments in legislation and case law, both in the EC and the UK, and these are reflected in the new edition.
