CLAP1195 | Competition Law and Practice

The seminar course on competition law will be an elective course and not  mandated by the Bar Council or UGC (to the best of my knowledge). While  the subject itself merits a stand-alone course, it develops on prior courses in economics and commercial regulation more generally.

The approach to teaching this course is to provide a basic foundational  introduction to some key concepts in competition law and then focus on  how those concepts have been implemented and interpreted by courts and  tribunals in India. In doing so, I propose to include a comparative view of  the practice in other jurisdictions and dedicate a significant portion to the  “real-world” practical issues that a competition law practitioner will likely  confront. Given that the course is an elective seminar course, I have  consciously limited the time spent on theoretical aspects of the subject. This  is a course designed to equip student practitioners and will primarily rely  on case law and where necessary, journal articles, and commentary on  specific topics.
