Objective:
Nutanix and W Hing, the first two trials before the Competition Tribunal, took place more than 5 years ago. The world has moved on since then. The time is ripe to review what progress the Hong Kong competition regime has made after Nutanix and W Hing. The objective of the course is to provide a succinct summary of the key decisions of the Competition Tribunal in the past 5 years. The speaker will also explain the rationales underlying the decisions of the Tribunal. The implications of those decisions on the development of the Hong Kong jurisprudence of competition law will also be reviewed.
|
Outline:
- A quick summary of Nutanix and W Hing
- The Court of Appeal's decision in W Hing
- The Kam Kwong procedure to settle a public enforcement action
- Competition law as a defence in civil proceedings in Taching Petroleum Co Ltd v Meyer Aluminium Ltd
- Confidentiality treatment in competition proceedings
- A brief overview of ongoing cases and the issues involved
