The new edition of this eminent and authoritative work has been fully updated to encompass the major changes in substantive law, enforcement procedures and case law since the last edition in 2008.

The chapters have been reorganised to reflect current areas of important development with new chapters devoted to cartels, to fines and to litigating infringements in the national courts. The Commission's Horizontal Cooperation Guidelines have been extensively covered in a chapter devoted to non-covert horizontal agreements. There is also greater reference throughout this new edition to cases arising in the Member States.

The comprehensive accompanying volume of European Union competition law materials (edited by Andrew Macnab, a barrister at Monckton Chambers) has been fully updated to include all of the relevant legislation, Commission Notices and Guidelines, and provides detailed cross-references to the commentary in the main work.

Bellamy and Child is an invaluable and essential reference point for everyone involved in competition law.
