Product Description

Product Description

Richard Whish and David Bailey's Competition Law is the definitive textbook on this subject. The authors' authoritative treatment of the area is matched by a lively and easy-to-follow writing style, making this book an indispensable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate law and economics students, as well as for practitioners and officials involved in competition law. Explaining the economic context within which competition law operates in the UK, EU and internationally, the authors look at the constituent parts of the law and analyze how they affect commercial phenomena. Key aspects are examined in detail, including mergers, horizontal and vertical agreements, the Abuse of Dominance, Intellectual Property and the obligations of Member States under the EC. The book also scrutinizes fundamental Acts and Articles - Competition Act 1998; Enterprise Act 2002; Articles 101 and 102 - providing readers with context, consequences and an overview of how these are applied in practice. Online Resource Centre The Online Resource Centre that accompanies this edition of the book contains an author video podcasts, articles from the authors, useful web links, and extended versions of the tables in the text. This book is essential reading for students, practitioners and officials seeking a respected, reliable, intelligent and critical approach to competition law.

A fantastic text 17 Feb 2011
By Dafyddg
Format:Paperback
Whish has made the subject readily accessible for students and academics alike. Probably the UK's leading expert on competition law, Whish has again delivered the leading text on the subject. A must for any LL.B or LL.M student and a text for any unversity Competition law reading list.

This 7th edition of Whish's classic textbook is fully updated to take account of the Lisbon Treaty, the Commission's Guidance document on the enforcement of Article 102 and the new Vertical Block Exemption, amongst others. As always, the book continues to explain this vast area of law in an engaging and accessible way, both for LLB and LLM students. Almost every topic and sub-topic is cross-referenced with suggestions for further reading, so again 'Competition Law' is very handy for those starting a dissertation and in need of some useful direction. The book is very well-structured, each chapter starting with a 'Contents' section, before dealing with the topic at hand in a very logical fashion. Theories and concepts are broken down with easy-to-follow headings and sub-headings - something I found indispensable when learning such a complex area of law.

The authors have clearly reached the top of their game and this is reflected in the incredible breadth and depth with which 'Competition Law' is written. I used the previous version of this book to my great advantage when I did my own LLM, and I bought this 7th edition for reference. Overall, an excellent investment and a very timely release, given all that has happened in competition law over the past three or fours years.

By Purpman

I had to do a competition law module for a professional exam, and as the lectures and recommended book were both utterly hopeless (Queen Mary College London and Korah's book, respectively) I bought the third edition of this book in utter desperation in the hope that someone in this field knew their ass from their elbow. Whish is excellent - I simply threw away my lecture notes, wiped my bottom with Korah, and studied Whish from scratch. Whish was a breath of fresh air, exploding the myths and drivel of the other two sources at every turn. I then passed the exam module that the other two sources had induced me to fail at the first attempt. Cut the crap - buy Whish.
