Blackstone's UK and EC competition documents - Kirsty Dougan

This text meets aims to meet the increased demand for competition law materials in light of recent legislative developments in the United Kingdom and the European Community. The Competition Act 1998, for example, which came into force on 1 March 2000, replaces the outdated Restrictive Trade Practices legislation and much of the Competition Act 1980 with a new system based closely on the EU model of competition law. Students and practitioners will therefore need to consult EU competition law when interpreting and applying the Competition Act 1998.;The text contains primary and secondary competition legislation of the United Kingdom and the European Union. Relevant statutes include the Fair Trading Act 1973, sections of the Competition Act 1980 that have not been repealed and the full text of the Competition Act 1998. The text also contains all relevant Treaty provisions, Regulations (including the Block Exemption Regulation 2970/99 on vertical agreements) and Commission Notices.
