Details

This is the ninth edition of Professor Korah's widely respected Yellow Book on EC competition law and practice. For many years used by both practising lawyers and law students as well as officials, this book has kept pace with the rapid development of the subject.

Its description of economic theory and the policy considerations which underpin the law and its enforcement are even more important in the era of modernisation, when the enforcement of competition law has become decentralised to the Member States and when new Member States have recently become subject to EC competition law.

The book addresses questions to which there is no clear answer, and is used by experts as well as by those less familiar with the subject. Its analysis and trenchant comment on the legislation, case law and policies have had some influence on the development of the law, a fact acknowledged by many experts in the subject. Despite the complexity of the topic this remains a lucid and readable overview which is ideal for newcomers to the subject.

About the Author

Valentine Korah is Professor Emeritus of Competition Law at University College,London, and a Barrister.

Reviews

...clearly laid out and the table of contents is admirably comprehensive...it greatly benefits from not being written in the pompous...style which is favoured by many lawyers...I have no hesitation in recommending this book...it will be of particular value to specialists because...it in fact brings a very special perspective to the subject.

In the four decades since it first appeared, this work has acquired a formidable reputation as a crisp, accurate and critical account of EC Competition law. The latest edition more than lives up to expectation...it can fairly claim to be one of the most up to date texts available.

« Le Korah » est un des principaux manuels de droit de la concurrence communautaire sur le marché...La démarche est finalement assez utile : un étudiant comprendra les bases de l'analyse requise sous l'article 81 (3) en lisant les huit pages qui y sont dédiées dans le chapitre sur ce thème, alors que le praticien s'intéressera plutôt aux chapitres sur les accords manifestement prohibés, les accords de distribution et les accords de licence. Le chapitre consacré aux contrats de distribution est, à cet égard, un modèle de clarté.
Revue Lamy de la Concurrence, No 14, Jan-Mar 08

...provides an excellent introduction to the subject for newcomers to this area of the law. Previous editions of the book have been widely praised for their concise yet thorough explanation of European competition law, and the 9th edition continues that tradition...Korah's book provides a balance between the theory and practise of European competition law. The author provides a sound explanation of the law as it currently stands, as well as some of its perceived shortcomings and where there may be a need for reform.
