A few interesting regulatory law developments caught my eye today including:
Stanford University Press has published a new book entitled The Global Limits of Competition Law, edited by Daniel Sokol and Ioannis Lianos: Stanford University Press – The Global Limits of Competition Law.
The American Antitrust Institute has published a new global handbook on private competition law enforcement entitled The International Handbook on Private Enforcement of Competition Law: Edward Elgar Publishing – The International Handbook on Private Enforcement of Competition Law.
The Federal Government has introduced a new Safe Food for Canadians Act: Harper Government Introduces Safe Food for Canadians Act.
The Federal Privacy Commissioner yesterday issued a new policy position on online behavioural advertising: Policy Position on Online Behavioural Advertising.
The New York Times published an interesting Barnes & Noble Op Ed arguing that the settlement with e-book publishers would “punish consumers”: Barnes & Noble Argues Book Settlement “Punishes Consumers”.
The Australian competition regulator (the ACCC) has approved the Glencore/Viterra transaction: Australia Competition Watchdog Approves Glencore Takeover of Viterra.
