COMING 2012

Oxford Competition Law Online ensures the user has access to an invaluable suite of competition analysis, providing the facility for comprehensive and improved case preparation. This service includes enhanced online versions of Oxford University Press' key commentaries in EU competition law: Bellamy & Child: European Community Law of Competition, Faull & Nikpay on The EC Law of Competition and Richard Whish's Competition Law. The fully consolidated search and browse functionality across these three cornerstone competition law texts enables users to access and compare commentary easily and efficiently, and to move directly to the source material.

Oxford Competition Law also includes the majority of relevant EU source material cited in the commentaries and case reports, or contains clear linking to the original source. The materials are annotated with references back to the relevant portion of commentary in Bellamy & Child and Faull & Nikpay.

The service is continually updated with cases and materials, and always contains the most up-to-date versions of the commentaries. Bi-annual substantive updates to Bellamy & Child, written to the same exacting standards as the original text, will supplement the commentary in the main work.

Case Reports

Oxford Competition Law contains authoritative, peer reviewed case reports for competition cases at National level in European member states, in addition to key cases at EU level. The reports contain a full head-note comprising core searchable data about the case, a summary of the Facts and Holdings of the decision, expert analysis and a link to the full judgment in the original language. The reports are carefully selected by an expert team for their significance for competition practitioners across Europe and they enable practitioners to build the experiences of foreign courts into their own case preparation.

Oxford Competition Law is also the only competition law case reporting service to offer translations into English of the key portions of foreign language judgments, allowing users to verify the case summaries and to judge their significance to a particular research point.

Oxford Law Citator

Oxford Competition Law includes the Oxford Law Citator - a state-of-the-art navigation tool which increases the efficiency of legal research by integrating the content of all law online resources from Oxford University Press.

In Oxford Competition Law, the Oxford Law Citator provides links between each key reference within the three commentaries, relevant cases, and EU source materials. This unparalleled linking and manoeuvrability between references and source material allows for direct comparisons between the different material types, providing an invaluable research tool for the Oxford Competition Law user.

Overview of the item
