Competition cases are complex and often based on economic principles. The 2018 CLIP Competition Primers for ASEAN Judges are a series of information sheets designed to offer practical guidance to members of the judiciary when analysing competition cases in their courts. These Primers bring together the Federal Court of Australia's very rich technical knowledge and first-hand experience with the OECD's international experience working with judges and knowledge of the ASEAN region and laws. These Primers are part of the OECD strong engagement with Asia and, in particular with ASEAN, in helping to further the implementation of the ambitious ASEAN Competition Action Plan (ACAP) 2016-2025. This project was funded under the ASEAN-Australia and New Zealand Free Trade Agreement (AANZFTA) Competition Law Implementation Program. The primers
The 2018 Competition Primers for ASEAN Judges are available in several languages.

Other OECD Initiatives with Competition JudgesThe OECD has undertaken a number of roundtables with judges in the context of both the Competition Committee and the Global Forum on Competition. In 2017, the Global Forum on Competition held a roundtable with judges on Judicial perspectives on competition law, addressing various dimensions of the judicial adjudication of competition law. While recognising the differences that exist across jurisdictions, the discussion tried to elicit the main common challenges that judges face when applying competition law, and find ways to address those challenges. All materials related to this discussion can be found here. Other relevant Competition Committee roundtables include: Presenting Complex Economic Theories to Judges, 2008, and Procedural Fairness: Competition Authorities, Courts and Recent Developments, 2011. The OECD has also published reports concerning the courts’ role in the review of competition law cases such as, for instance, the 2016 report on The resolution of competition cases by specialised and generalist courts: Stocktaking of international experiences. Finally, since 1996, seminars for national judges have been held in Mexico, Russia, Southern Africa and Brazil. |
