Description

---

Despite the UK's decision to leave the EU in January 2021, UK business will need to continue to have regard to the provisions of the EU treaties on competition / antitrust matters if their behaviour has an economic effect on the European Market. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the relevant rules and case law drawn from over 45 years experience in this area of law. The author is a Scottish Solicitor and the contributor of the EU Competition Law section of the Stair Encyclopaedia of the Laws of Scotland and of Halsbury's Law of England.

It is for solicitors giving advice to clients with international markets; for academics in this field; for students; and not just lawyers. For directors and secretaries of such companies looking for ready answers to issues they may have.

This Second Edition of the Book has been expanded to take account of developments since January 2022 and includes a detailed discussion of the new Block Exemption Regulations for both Vertical and Horizontal Agreements and the respective Guidelines.

Additionally, a index of contents has been included to assist readers in finding the information they require.
