It is an issue that arises in most jurisdictions in which competition legislation exists, including New Zealand, the U.S., and the E.U. This book is the first comprehensive analysis of the evidentiary dimensions of this important issue. It provides significant practical insights for lawyers, economists, judges, regulators, and business people on the evidence required to establish antitrust markets. The challenges involved in presenting evidence from industry, consumers, statistical studies, and expert witnesses are each explored in detail. The author concludes that the approach taken by the Australian courts may be correct in principle but lacks rigour in practice. The author makes a range of recommendations for improvement, which should interest scholars in the field of competition law generally. |
