Bio Profile:

Mr Vipin Naugah is the Head of Legal and Cartels at the Competition Commission. He is a Barrister called to the Mauritian bar in 2008 and has been with the Competition Commission since its inception in 2009. He is also currently Commissioner on the Board of Commissioners of the COMESA Competition Commission, representing the Republic of Mauritius.

Synopsis:

Competition law is premised on the concept that free markets deliver many benefits to consumers in terms of lower prices, wider choices, and more innovative products.  In seeking to uphold and protect this process, competition law typically regulates three commercial areas: mergers, agreements between competitors or enterprises along the supply chain, and conduct from dominant firms. From reviewing the key legal and economic principles that underpin the application of competition law in Mauritius to clarifying the Competition Commission’s investigative process, this talk aims to promote a greater understanding of the technicities of the competition law and enforcement regime and assist lawyers in their litigation or advisory roles vis-à-vis commercial clients.
