The Singapore competition law framework has evolved significantly since the first version was issued. New enforcement rulings have produced a modest but increasing repository of local cases that will continue to affect Singapore's competition law growth and practise. This book offers a complete overview of how Singapore's competition laws will be implemented, as well as how firms, practitioners, and students should navigate the system.

This second volume examines the lessons learned from the Competition Commission of Singapore's infringement judgements, many of which take into consideration Singapore's specific circumstances.

From the Foreword of Competition Law and Policy In Singapore, 2nd Edition:

“The second edition of this book provides a comprehensive update and an in-depth discussion of how competition law has been interpreted and enforced in Singapore by the [CCS] as well as the Competition Appeal Board through examining the numerous decisions issued over the past six years since the publication of the first edition of the book. The insights shared by the various authors who have extensive experience with competition law and economics, in particular, Singapore’s competition law system, will provide readers with a more holistic understanding of the local developments. [This book] also illustrates the fine balance that has to be struck in practice between the needs of a dynamic economy and the interpretation of the legal guidelines that govern competitive behaviour. This is immensely useful in our search for a more vibrant, efficient and competitive Singapore economy.”
