| NOTAS: | "A new edition of this textbook is needed to take account of the many fundamental developments in EC and UK law that have taken place since the third edition was published in 1993, in particular the new Competition Act 1998, which has brought the UK competition law in line with the rest of Europe. Areas covered include the Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994 which has effected alterations to the Restrictive Trade Practices Act, the Competition Act and the Fair Trading Act; enlarged sections on the activities of the various industry regulators and the future of competition law in the United Kingdom generally. Extensive developments in European Community competition law are also dealt with, including important new legislation regarding Technology Transfer Regulation, block exemptions on motor car distribution agreements and shipping consortia and new notices in relation to the EC Merger Regulation. It offers a simplified and specialised approach, and this, together with its continual high editorial quality, has established Whish as the best textbook on competition law for both the student and practitioner." |
