"Competition law demands a flexible and interdisciplinary approach. The objective of this book is to offer students, lawyers, and others with an interest in the subject a practical guide--not only to the law--but also to its broader context, its objectives, and its evolution. In addition to setting out the elements of the relevant statutory provisions and their treatment in the caselaw, the book seeks to provide an overview of the jurisprudential and legislative history of the current provisions; an approachable outline of the key economic concepts upon which Canadian competition law and policy analysis is founded; and a review of methods and approaches applied by economists and lawyers to the analysis of competition law problems. After numerous amendments over the last several decades, Canada now has in the Competition Act one of the most advanced competition law statutes in the world. Like the markets it is concerned with, its interpretation and application must continue to adapt and to evolve. Novel problems, such as those posed in digital markets, require a readiness for the law to embrace advances in economic learning, to improve methods of private and public enforcement, and to provide productive guidance to businesses in order to stimulate competitive and innovative behaviour and to benefit consumers."-- Provided by publisher.
