Competition Law And Policy In The EC And UK

Competition law, at both the Community and UK levels, plays an ever-increasing and important role in regulating the conduct of businesses. Competition law can affect business contracts, takeovers and mergers, co-ordinated actions, pricing behaviour and also State subsidies. This book seeks to provide a clear guide and outline to the general policies behind the main provisions contained in Community and UK competition law in a structured framework. The book is designed to be user friendly by seeking to consider competition law in context to ease understanding. The book is aimed principally at any competition law students, BA and LLB, as a course textbook and will also be of assistance as an introductory guide for further learning by postgraduate students of competition law.
