Professor Régibeau, former Chief Economist of DG Competition, has delivered a training course at the Institute for Judicial and Legal Studies (IJLS) for law practitioners and legal officers, on The Role of Economic Analysis and Evidence in Competition Law. Competition Law being an area where legal and economic analysis are inextricably linked, it is important for legal scholars and practitioners to understand the economic underpinnings of competition law as well as how bespoke economic analysis and evidence can help bolster a specific legal case.
Professor Régibeau’s intervention was centered around the different theories of harm and types of evidence in competition law. He also shared insights on the interaction of economic experts with competition authorities and how best to present economic analysis and evidence in Court.
The training session by Prof. Pierre Régibeau is part of the collaboration between the Competition Commission and the IJLS with the view to developing awareness of competition law among the legal community.
