Details

Marking the 50-year anniversary of modern statutory competition law in Australia, this two-volume set brings together more than 40 leading experts to discuss the most important issues and developments arising under Australian competition law, economics and policy.

This publication discusses current reforms and reviews the impact of competition law and policy in the Australian economy over the last 50 years, since the enactment of the Trade Practices Act 1974. Contributors examine the legacy of this landmark legislation, important precedents and cases that have shaped contemporary Australian competition law, as well as the substantive, procedural and institutional features in need of revision. Volume I focuses on the history and context of Australian competition law, the Courts and Tribunal, and the competition system established by the Competition and Consumer Act. Volume II assesses consumer protection law, the digital economy, enforcement, remedies and sanctions, and the Australian competition regime from a comparative perspective.

This volume, alongside its companion, Competition and Consumer Law: Principles, Enforcement, and Comparative Perspectives, is an authoritative treatise that will interest the broader competition law and policy community around the world. Together, they provide essential insights for academics, researchers, practitioners, policymakers and regulators.
