Authors
Partha Banerjee, Dr. Dakshita Sangwan
Abstract

In this work, the authors investigate competition laws' contribution to social justice from a critical standpoint. This paper examines the fundamental ideas of competition law with the goals of advancing consumer protection, market efficiency, and economic advancement. This paper goes beyond the conventional goals to investigate the ways in which competition laws relate to more general social justice issues.

This paper evaluates if laws pertaining to competition have promoted social fairness by means of a thorough investigation and legal analysis. The author examines how well they address systemic inequities and advance equitable results, drawing on case studies and jurisprudential developments.

While navigating the complexity of competition law it is essential to assess how to accomplish social justice goals through the application of legal frameworks. This paper examines how legislators, civic society, and competition authorities work together to create regulatory environments that put equality and diversity first.

This paper will also attempt to decipher the intricacies and subtleties present in this symbiotic connection by combining theoretical understanding, and legal analysis and shed light on the degree to which competition laws have succeeded—or failed—in promoting social justice by critically analysing the historical development of competition laws, following their theoretical foundations, and exploring their practical ramifications.

In the end, this study aims to provide light on how competition laws affect social justice. The authors hope to find ways to improve the synergy between competition law and more general social justice imperatives by evaluating successes and failures. Follow along to assess how competition laws affect social justice and investigate avenues for achieving a fairer community.
