The Singapore Academy of Law (“SAL“) Annual Review of Singapore Cases is an annual publication that highlights key Singapore cases in an array of areas of law in the preceding year.
Kala Anandarajah, Head of the Competition & Antitrust and Trade Practice, contributed the chapter on Competition Law to the Singapore Academy of Law Annual Review of Singapore Cases (“SAL Ann Review“).
Key updates for 2020 covered in the Competition Law chapter include the issuance of the Competition Appeal Board’s decision in the Chicken cartel which made history by overturning liability in part for the first time, the issuance by the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (“CCCS“) of two infringement decisions relating to bid-rigging agreements, and the issuance of the Guidance Note on Collaboration between Competitors in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to provide more clarity to businesses on how CCCS would view collaborations between competitors during these unprecedented times. The update also reviews several mergers that the CCCS considered in 2020. Finally, the chapter also touches on CCCS’s enforcement efforts on the consumer protection front.
The chapter was first published in e-First on 19 August 2021. e-First is SAL’s e-publishing prior-to-print module.
