""Cartel Damages" represents a comprehensive practical guide on the law, economics, and measurement of cartel damages under UK and European competition laws. It draws together the most recent research on cartels, economic analysis, empirical techniques, case law, and legislation to examine how the quantification of losses suffered by those harmed by a cartel are, and could be, applied under European and UK competition laws.0Written with the practitioner in mind, the author adopts a rigorous yet pragmatic approach to the subject. Detailed discussions of leading cases complement the treatment of the application of economic theory and empirical techniques in competition law and litigation. Three useful appendices provide the reader with quick reference guides to statistics on European Cartel Decisions (1999 to 2018), Bank of England 'base rate' (1980-2019), and where to find key documents and information. This represents an essential tool for competition practitioners and academics involved or interested in cartel damages. Fully cross-referenced and tabled, Cartel Damages is an invaluable and practical guide to issues of increasing importance and relevance in competition law."

The law of contract is analyzed in economic terms, focusing on the influence of formal rules in contract disputes. An argument is presented for the utility of designing rules with an understanding of their impact on the relative regulating strength of the parties seeking to bargain out of court. Several reasons are identified for suggesting that unless designed for such out‐of‐court negotiations formal rules need to be different from those suitable for the resolution of contract disputes in the courts.
