Critical Acclaim
‘This book definitely makes an interesting and useful contribution for academic discussion and provides food for thought for law-makers.’
– European Competition Law Review
‘The book contains a varied and thought-provoking set of contributions very useful to the debate on the topic of striking the right balance between effectiveness of competition law enforcement and right to due process. The book is also of great interest to practitioners for the wealth of references to cases and legal arguments used before courts to challenge the fairness of competition law proceedings.’
– The Competition Law Observatory
‘Overall the book is well structured, containing considerable detail and analysis that is supported by case law. It covers a variety of procedural fairness issues in several different contexts both domestically and at an international competition law level. . . it provides some fresh insight for practitioners, researchers and policy makers alike and is a useful window into an area of competition law that deserves attention.''
