Abstract
The paper presents selected issues of competition law in Australia. It is based both on the provisions of Australian competition and consumer Act of 2010 and on available case-law. The article focuses on the substantive aspects of competition rules in Australia (i.e.: the scope of application of the act; the concept of competition; definition of anticompetitive agreements; as well as when a corporation with substantial degree of market power is unlawfully taking advantage thereof). It also contains comparative comments considering the provisions of Polish and EU competition law, as well as general thoughts on the legislative technique of Australian competition law and some of its concepts.
