I think this was a very interesting episode. I believe criticism is very important and there were some valid points raised.
None the less I am confused about some statements made such as: fairness shouldn’t be an assessment standard when adjudicating cases as is it too subject (if i understood it correctly). This argument could be used in any legal decision then? Should a criminal law court not be thriving for fairness as the offender may consider it unfair from his very own perspective? I mean although fairness has a subjective part there is an objective part that law and resolving cases tries to live up to in any field of law. Why should competition be excluded?
Another thing I don’t understand is how one can pretend as if Google’s current situation was unique! Any company who’s actions are declared as anti competitive, disagrees with it and has to find a way to implement the commission decisions against there will. I don’t know of any case were this hasn’t been like this.

Great competition law podcast!
I found the Competition Lore podcast to be highly informative and pitched at a level to be engaging for both the interested lay person and the expert. Well worth listening in!
