The School of Legal Studies at Cochin University of Science and Technology upholds its commitment to organizing impactful Summer Schools centred around topics of legal and social importance. Building on the success of the previous five editions of the Annual Summer School on Consumer and Competition Law since 2018, we are thrilled to unveil the Sixth Annual Summer School. This year’s theme is ‘Understanding Indian Consumer and Competition Law’, slated to take place from June 24th to June 28th, 2024.
About the Summer School: Only a very few percentages of the population of a country become professionals like Doctors, Engineers, Advocates etc. The same is the case with businessmen. But, without exception, in one way or another, all are consumers of various services or products. Ultimately every law that governs trade or business should have its primary concern over making quality products available to consumers and protecting them from all sorts of exploitation. Globalization and liberalization and the development of markets in India have brought stiff competition among the different market players and stakeholders. Unhealthy competition leads to the adoption of anti-competitive practices and thus to the exploitation of the consumers. One of the main objectives of the Competition Act of 2002 is to address this issue. It aims to curb anti-competitive practices with a view to promoting effective competition in the market, which ultimately results in the maximization of consumer welfare. It ensures effective competition by preventing anticompetitive agreements, abusive practices and combinations having anti-competitive effects.
