This important new book provides a substantive introduction to Hong Kong competition law contained in the new Competition Ordinance as supplemented by the Competition Commission's Guidelines. Reference is also made to the most important case law concerning competition rules in other jurisdictions, in particular the European Union, from which the Hong Kong competition rules draw inspiration. Hong Kong Competition Law also sets out fully the procedural and enforcement rules before the Competition Commission and the Competition Tribunal. Specific sections deal with the application of competition law to the major economic sectors in Hong Kong: construction, energy, finance, retail, telecommunications and transport. A final chapter provides a comparative survey of competition law in China, Japan and South Korea.
