Analytical Jurisprudence of Competition Law in India

 

Startups and enterprises analyse competition law to know what they are legitimately entitled to do and to continue doing business rightfully, especially when expanding into new territories, markets and products. However, unfair practices by competitors hamper business prospects and bully consumers into buying overpriced and substandard products and services out of compulsion. Thus, businesses must know the recourse in case competitors are pursuing illegitimate strategies. Similarly, lawyers working in competition law must possess the requisite knowledge and skills to protect their clients from the breach of competition code and defend the cases before the Competition Commission of India (CCI), when the situation demands.

This course explains the practical aspects of Competition Law. It focuses on good practice and practical examples, especially on the applicability of the substantive provisions relating to anti-competitive agreements and abuse of dominance. The course covers practical scenarios, legal aspects and procedures such that the learners are equipped to present and apply the learning in real-life situations.
