The 2nd International Conference on Competition Law 2010 (ICCL2010) is being organized in New Delhi, India for the 12th and 13th of November, 2010.
Building on the success and the foundation laid by the first International Conference on Competition Law (ICCL), the upcoming Second International Conference on Competition Law being organised jointly by the International Academy of Law and the World Council for Corporate Governance in association with the India’s Ministry of Law & Justice and Competition Appellate Tribunal aims to examine the status of Competition Law in various jurisdictions, with particular reference to the emerging economies such as India.
India is amongst the most recent entrants into the league of competition law jurisdictions, which number over 100 today. The Indian law has completed the first year of its enforcement. The conference will thus enable a review of the developments in the enforcement of the Indian law, and its future course of progress. ICCL2010 will also dwell on the topical issue of balancing competition law and policy with sustainable development in a fast-growing economy. The question that will often feature in the discussions will be: does competition law need to be different or to be enforced differently in a developing economy such as India? How should this be reconciled with India’s development goals and policies?
On the expert panels will be leading authorities from the field of competition/antitrust law from across the globe including judges, competition officials, policy makers, academics, in-house counsel, private practitioners and corporate leaders. As in the previous year, also participating would be heads/members of the Competition Appellate Tribunal, the Competition Commission of India and officers of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. ICCL2010 is thus designed as a platform to bring together competition law experts and authorities from around the world along with other stakeholders with the view to share knowledge and experiences in this important area of economic law recently introduced in India.
