We also explore the ramifications of the failed retail mergers between Asda and Sainsbury’s in the UK and BP and Woolworths in Australia. Other notable topics include merger control and assessment processes in Pakistan, antitrust damage claims and public sector procurements in Spain, and changes in review attitudes toward extraterritorial combination cases in Taiwan.
