Description and Table of Contents

Description

The Competition Act 1998 introduces radical reforms in UK competition law. The Act provides for the prohibition of anti-competitive agreements and conduct and brings UK competition law substantially into line with EC law. This book discusses the background to the reforms and their relationship with EC law. The range of investigative and enforcement powers are analysed together with the roles of the Director General of Fair Trading, the new Competition Commission, the DTI and the sectoral regulators. This guide provides essential guidance for practitioners advising on compliance issues during the transitional period.
