This is a collection of statutes, or parts of statutes relating to competition law in the United Kingdom and EEC, together with the subordinate legislation. The work has been competently and sympathetically done. Amendments are noted in the statute affected, even if the amending Act or other instrument is also included later. The collection includes legislation for special sectors, such as parts of the Telecommunications, Gas and Financial Services Acts and the EEC regulation for the distribution of vehicles; also draft EEC regulations as well as summaries of the recent U.K. Green Paper on restrictive trade practices and the White Paper on mergers. At para. 2–168, a General Note sets out the list of exemptions from the Act provided by other statutes.

The work goes further than most collections of legislation in that it includes summaries of the case law, including reports of the Monopolies and Mergers Commission. Not all the points for which a case may be cited are mentioned. For instance the note on Pronuptia [1986] 1 C.M.L.R. 414 deals with the parts of the judgment relating to Art. 85 of the EEC
