This Court taught by one of London's leading practitioners is essential for any attorney that works with international law, multinational corporations, or international intellectual property issues. Competition law is designed to protect consumers from restrictions on competition or abuses of market power which could generally be expected to result in reduced supplies and higher prices. This course begins its consideration of this area of law with a detailed examination of the Competition Act 1998 and how it deals with restrictive agreements and abuse of a dominant position in a market with particular reference to the powers of investigation and enforcement given by the Act to the Office of Fair Trading. The course then considers the Enterprise Act 2002 and the further powers it gives to the OFT and the Competition Commission before concluding with a look at the powers available to these bodies in connection with the control of mergers.
