About this title

Review

...clearly laid out and the table of contents is admirably comprehensive...it greatly benefits from not being written in the pompous...style which is favoured by many lawyers...I have no hesitation in recommending this book...it will be of particular value to specialists because...it in fact brings a very special perspective to the subject. Michael Hutchings, Solicitor European Competition Law Review, Vol 26, Issue 11 November 2005 In the four decades since it first appeared, this work has acquired a formidable reputation as a crisp, accurate and critical account of EC Competition law. The latest edition more than lives up to expectation...it can fairly claim to be one of the most up to date texts available. Josh Holmes, Monckton Chambers World Competition Law and Economics Review March 2004 an extremely stimulating read for anyone wishing to get beneath the surface of the subject a valuable asset to practitioners and students alike. Josh Holmes Antitrust Bulletin December 2003 A true bible of information about EU competition law...ideal and very profitable reading for students, lawyers and officials in this field. TB Agence Europe S.A. No 9556/757, 4th December 2007 " Le Korah " est un des principaux manuels de droit de la concurrence communautaire sur le marche...La demarche est finalement assez utile : un etudiant comprendra les bases de l'analyse requise sous l'article 81 (3) en lisant les huit pages qui y sont dediees dans le chapitre sur ce theme, alors que le praticien s'interessera plutot aux chapitres sur les accords manifestement prohibes, les accords de distribution et les accords de licence. Le chapitre consacre aux contrats de distribution est, a cet egard, un modele de clarte. Revue Lamy de la Concurrence, No 14, Jan-Mar 08 ...provides an excellent introduction to the subject for newcomers to this area of the law. Previous editions of the book have been widely praised for their concise yet thorough explanation of European competition law, and the 9th edition continues that tradition...Korah's book provides a balance between the theory and practise of European competition law. The author provides a sound explanation of the law as it currently stands, as well as some of its perceived shortcomings and where there may be a need for reform. Bruce Lloyd European Competition Law Review Volume 29 issue 10 Le manuel de Valentine Korah est un classique Les qualites pedagogiques de l'auteur ressortent clairement de ce manuel.
