Competition Law of the EU and UK 7e builds on the strengths of Mark Furse's original textbook to provide an engaging and approachable introduction to competition law. It offers up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of the most recent cases and legislative changes. Taking a comparative look at the links and differences between EU and UK law, fundamental economic concepts which underpin the subject are also clearly explained.
The changes introduced by the Treaty of Lisbon and the implications of the recent economic crisis are highlighted throughout the book. This edition contains new features, including a chapter on state aid, a revised focus on procedural aspects (including an analysis of the White Paper on Damages and the first criminal conviction for breach of competition law in the UK), an in-depth look at the review of Article 102 TFEU, a study of the new UK Merger Guidelines, and an account of the key changes of the new EU block exemption for vertical agreements.
The inclusion of detailed case summaries, enhanced flow charts, and other useful visual aids contribute towards providing a stimulating approach to competition law, making it an ideal introduction to the subject for undergraduates and postgraduates new to this area of the law.

may appeal against decisions of the OFT. Currently appeals are made directly to the CAT. The operative requirement is that the Tribunal must consider that the potential appellant ‘has a sufficient interest in the decision with respect to which the appeal is made’ (s. 47(2)). There is no definition provided of what constitutes ‘a sufficient interest’, and this remains to be worked out through case law. However, it appears to be the case that locus standi is likely to be wider than in respect of

Secondly, the association of individual members in the Bar would constitute an ‘association of undertakings within the meaning of art. [101(1)]’ (para. 64), although the Bar itself would not be classed as an undertaking for the purposes of art. 102. Rather, the Bar ‘acts as the regulatory body of a profession, the practice of which constitutes an economic activity’ (para. 58). This does not automatically mean that the conduct of such professional associations will be condemned; rather, because

Similar obligations are imposed by virtue of art. 18(3) which relates to decisions requiring that information be supplied. However, in this case the Commission must also indicate the penalties that are available under art. 24 for non-compliance, and the right of review of that decision before the Court of Justice under art. 263 TFEU. The obligations of art. 18 may be imposed only on undertakings, and it is their owners,
