The Competition Tribunal has published its updated handbook on case law in electronic format on its website.
The handbook is a guide to selected cases spanning two decades.
Covering various topics ranging from substantive merger control issues and procedural matters, to cases dealing with prohibited conduct and remedies, the handbook captures the tribunal’s institutional approach to cases and serves as a guide for competition law practitioners.
Besides others, the new topics include cases dealing with Covid-19-related complaints decided by the tribunal, the question of the tribunal’s jurisdiction over foreign entities, the powers of the tribunal to vary consent orders, the exercise of the tribunal’s inquisitorial powers, access to confidential information, the approach of the tribunal to the question of indivisible transactions and expanded public interest grounds in mergers introduced by the 2019 amendments to the Competition Act.
The updated handbook was authored by tribunal member Yasmin Carrim assisted by tribunal case manager Camilla Mathonsi and former senior economist at the tribunal Karissa Moothoo Padayachie, while Rendani Neswiswi provided information technology and layout support.
The Tribunal Case Law Handbook 2021 is available on the tribunal’s website and can be downloaded, free of charge.
