Competition lawyers practising in the UK will already be familiar with Dorothy Livingston’s existing ‘black book’, her 1995 magnum opus: Competition Law and Practice.
While that book also dealt with EC competition law, its real merit came from being almost the only exhaustive study of UK competition law in which the author metaphorically rolled up her sleeves and dealt with the details of the practical application of the monopoly and merger provisions of the Fair Trading Act 1973 and of the otherwise intractable Restrictive Trade Practices Act 1976.
