| Course Objective: |
This course aims to provide a solid introduction to the application of the Hong Kong Competition Ordinance, in force since December 2015. It will draw from International experience and general competition law principles in order to furnish participants with a thorough understanding of the aims of the new legislation, how it operates and the consequences it will have for Hong Kong. |
|
|
| Course Outline: |
Free market economic theory and practice pervades international commerce in an unprecedented and increasingly globalised manner. A cornerstone of free market economic theory is the necessity to remove distortions to competition stemming from anti-competitive agreements and abusive practices.
This course focuses on the substantive and procedural aspects of the Hong Kong Competition Ordinance, the first ever cross-sector competition law of this jurisdiction. To fully understand its implications, the theoretical underpinnings of competition law and policy will be examined, drawing from other selected jurisdictions such as the United States, the European Union and Mainland China. |
| This programme will take in the following: |
- Introduction to competition law and policy
- Introduction to the economics of competition law
- The Hong Kong Competition Ordinance
- The principal substantive provisions: The Chapter I and Chapter II prohibitions
- Enforcement: institutional framework, investigations and penalties
- International experience in the application of competition law
