'Competition Law and Policy: Cases and Materials evaluates Australian competition law including the economics and policies that lay at its heart. This fully revised and updated second edition draws together a comprehensive collection of material, providing an excellent and up-to-date guide to Australian competition law.

The book begins with an overview of Australia's competition policies, goals, and the evolution of its common law. The text then systematically discusses the principal forms of anti-competitive conduct engaged in by firms. Finally, it looks at the uniquely Australian concept of authorisation, and the sanctions imposed for contravening Australia's competition law.

This second edition has been updated throughout and includes the latest case law and legislation. It includes major updates to chapters on primary boycotts, misuse of market power, and mergers as well as revisions to topics such as price fixing, access, and policy to reflect the latest changes to the law.'
