This book was released on 2020-08-20 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern era of competition law in New Zealand began with the Commerce Act 1986. Since then, a steady and impressive corpus of case law had traversed all the usual major areas of antitrust law: cartels, resale price maintenance, exclusive dealing, tying, group boycotts, monopolization, mergers and acquisitions, exempted sectors, and the role of economic evidence. This volume explains the rationale for the various major reforms, the ongoing contestation between the Harvard and Chicago Schools of antitrust, and traces the developments of key concepts over the last 34 years. This title also explores systemic issues such as how well has New Zealand moulded its own competition law whilst nonetheless selectively drawing upon the policies, case law, and wisdom of foreign jurisdictions; how effectively has it faced the challenge of adapting its fledgling competition law to the reality of being a small, deregulated, open, and distant economy; and how successful was the application of competition law to utilities in the experimental era of 'light handed regulation'. Written by a New Zealand competition expert, this detailed, original, and comprehensive chronicle of New Zealand's competition law and policy draws together the common threads that mark the modern era and offers some predictions about how the next decades of New Zealand competition law might unfold.

Download or read book Competition Law in New Zealand written by Anna Kingsbury and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2019-07-10 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this practical analysis of competition law and its interpretation in the New Zealand covers every aspect of the subject – the various forms of restrictive agreements and abuse of dominance prohibited by law and the rules on merger control; tests of illegality; filing obligations; administrative investigation and enforcement procedures; civil remedies and criminal penalties; and raising challenges to administrative decisions. Lawyers who handle transnational commercial transactions will appreciate the explanation of fundamental differences in procedure from one legal system to another, as well as the international aspects of competition law. Throughout the book, the treatment emphasizes enforcement, with relevant cases analysed where appropriate. An informative introductory chapter provides detailed information on the economic, legal, and historical background, including national and international sources, scope of application, an overview of substantive provisions and main notions, and a comprehensive description of the enforcement system including private enforcement. The book proceeds to a detailed analysis of substantive prohibitions, including cartels and other horizontal agreements, vertical restraints, the various types of abusive conduct by the dominant firms and the appraisal of concentrations, and then goes on to the administrative enforcement of competition law, with a focus on the antitrust authorities’ powers of investigation and the right of defence of suspected companies. This part also covers voluntary merger notifications and clearance decisions, as well as a description of the judicial review of administrative decisions. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable time-saving tool for business and legal professionals alike. Lawyers representing parties with interests in the New Zealand will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of international and comparative competition law.

Book excerpt: This paper examines the ideas behind competition law in New Zealand and offers a critical assessment of its practice. It is a policy paper aimed at lawyers and legal scholars. While the paper focuses on the NZ Commerce Act, it has general applicability. The purpose of competition law in New Zealand is "to promote competition in markets for the long-term benefit of consumers". (Commerce Act 1986, s 1A) In other words, it is believed that markets left to their own devices, without any regulation of prices, quantities, or structure, could (in some cases) be harmful to consumers. The risk for consumers is such that a regulatory body, the New Zealand Commerce Commission, is necessary to make sure that market participants always take into account the benefits to consumers in their decisions. This view rests on the idea that competition is a state of affairs that must be regulated and managed by the authorities because undesirable situations of monopoly can emerge all the time. The purpose of this paper is threefold: (a) to show that the Commerce Act rests on a mistaken view of competition; (b) to explain the nature of (true) competition, and (c) to expose the real face of competition law by showing that it cannot achieve the aim it is supposed to achieve (ie to correct market outcomes so as to make sure producers' decisions always benefit consumers). The paper briefly assesses important concepts used in competition law, such as "market definition," "market power," "lessening of competition," and "dynamic efficiency." It is argued that the problem assumed by competition law is only exacerbated by regulation. Regulators should take into account the entrepreneurial process (as theorized by Israel Kirzner and others) in their analysis of market situations. So while there may be situations where competition law may seem warranted, in fact there is no crime at the crime scene. While competition law aims to protect consumers, the danger is that it may affect the self-correcting properties of the market system (an outcome worse than the disease it tries to cure).
