Carswell has issued the second edition of Fundamentals of Canadian Competition Law.
From Carswell:
“Given the amount of extensive case law in the area, it can be challenging to understand whether particular conduct is circumscribed by the Competition Act or carries a risk of competition law challenge. We have a resource that will make it easier to interpret and understand the Competition Act. The Fundamentals of Canadian Competition Law, Second Edition, jointly published with the Canadian Bar Association, is a convenient, one-stop publication that summarizes the applicable statutory provisions in the Competition Act as well as the relevant jurisprudence, guidelines, and policy statements.
Each chapter is written by renowned experts in the field. They have selected the most important topics and the most relevant themes so you don’t waste time reviewing unnecessary information. You get expert coverage of the purpose of competition law, statutory history, price maintenance, exclusive dealing, tied selling, marketing restriction, mergers, misleading advertising, marketing practices – and more.
