The Competition Cast - Dynamic Pricing, Google’s Market Power and a toy industry ruling
In this episode of Hausfeld's #CompetitionCast, Michael Zymler, Luke Streatfeild and Daniel Hunt about recent competition enforcement explore how recent CMA activities and a High Court judgment could shape the future public and private enforcement landscape in the UK.
Key topics include:
