About
Oxford Competition Law (OCL) is the only fully integrated service to combine world-renowned market-leading commentaries with rigorous, selective National case reports and analysis from EU member states. The service is continually updated with cases and materials, a must-have for practitioners and legal scholars needing up-to-date information quickly.
Commentaries
The service comprises enhanced online versions of Bellamy & Child: European Union Law of Competition, Faull & Nikpay on The EU Law of Competition and Whish & Bailey on Competition Law. Bi-annual substantive updates to Bellamy & Child, written to the same exacting standards as the original text, supplement the commentary in the main work. The fully consolidated search and browse functionality across these cornerstone competition law texts enables users to access and compare commentary easily and efficiently, and to move directly to the source material, providing the facility for comprehensive and improved case preparation.

Case Reports
Oxford Competition Law contains authoritative, peer-reviewed case reports for competition cases at National level in European member states, in addition to key cases at EU level. The reports are carefully selected by an expert team for their significance for competition practitioners across Europe and they enable practitioners to build the experiences of foreign courts into their own case preparation. New case reports are regularly added to OCL, with approximately 100 cases added per year.
The reports contain
- Full head-note comprising core searchable data about the case
- Summary of the facts and holdings of the decision
- Analytical commentary
- Full-text original judgment of the court or NCA
- List of cases and source materials cited
- Translations of key portions of non-English decisions into English
