| Summary |
Government at all levels now relies on competition law to underpin microeconomic reform. Competition Law and Policy is a comprehensive collection of materials that aims to familiarize readers with the law, economics, and policies associated with Australian competition law. The competition law provisions of the Trade Practices Act 1974 have had a significant impact on all areas of commercial activity, especially since the Competition Policy Reform Act 1995 extended their operation. This book examines these provisions and discusses the underlying economic and policy considerations |
