Avtar Singh's Competition Law by Neha Vyas-2nd Edition 2024-Eastern Book Company

Dr Avtar Singh's Competition Law has been thoroughly revised by Dr Neha Vyas and is a timely addition to the competition law and policy scholarship considering the recent major amendments and changes in the law. This edition encapsulates all the statutory amendments and the case law. All the redundant provisions have been removed to reflect the current position of the law and the changes in the last decade. The material has also been reorganised for better reading and understanding.

The Competition (Amendment) Bill, 2022 received the Presidential assent on 11 April 2023 which significantly amended the substantive as well as procedural provisions to standardise competition law as per international norms. The book addresses the changes in law, the new challenges presented by rapid digitalisation in the Indian market and the ensuing metamorphosis of business operations. The key amendments such as introduction of Deal Value as a criterion for M&A notifications, reduction in the review timeline for M&A, broadening the scope of anti-competitive agreements, introducing provisions on hub-and-spoke cartels, penalties based on global turnover, and so on, have been included for the benefit of the reader.

This book is a must have textbook for students of Competition Law and also practitioners and general readers interested in the subject.
