Specifically, the prohibitions on arrangements restricting competition, exclusive dealing and misuse of market power are addressed. In each area the applicable legal principles, and where relevant legislation, are carefully outlined and illustrated by the use of extensive case law. Additionally, extracts of critical cases are provided to enable students to more fully understand the application of the law.
