JUDICIAL REVIEW OF COMPETITION CASES

This multi-jurisdictional guide explores the framework and practice in relation to judicial review of competition cases across leading jurisdictions. In a comparative study composed of seventeen essays, current and former judges, alongside notable academics and enforcers, provide global perspectives on universally relevant issues. Topics addressed include questions of fundamental rights and due process, as well competition-specific concerns regarding merger review, monopolization, inspection decisions, fine-setting by the European Commission, and State aid in tax-related matters, among others. Edited by two eminent voices from the bench, the collection fills an important gap in the literature, and constitutes essential reading for all concerned with the rule of law in the competition area.

The jurisdictions covered include Australia, China, the European Union, France, Germany, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, India, Italy, Japan, Poland, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States.
