Globalisation and the rapid technological development occurring in the digital world have signiﬁcantly altered the way business is conducted, including how firms compete, interact with other firms and distribute their goods and services, and how consumers search for and purchase goods and services.

Legal and Economic Theories in Competition Law

April 2013–January 2020

The University of Queensland

Competition law is heavily based on economic theories. Some legal theoretical arguments have occurred in connection with procedural justice in competition law and the criminalisation of cartels, where the need for legal theories is the most obvious. However, legal theories exploring competition-law concepts and terms such as ‘fairness’, ‘abuse’ or ‘misuse’, ‘cheating’ and ‘good morals’ are lacking in competition law. These concepts and terms need to be addressed by jurisprudence in order to, for instance, understand their meaning, apply the law correctly and set effective policy.
