Beesley Lecture: The significance of economic evidence in competition cases

Speaker: Peter Freeman, Chairman, Competition Commission

Chair and Commentator: Professor John Pickering, Member of the Competition Appeals Tribunal

The Beesley Lectures are a series of eight annual lectures covering the regulated industries in the UK. Now in their nineteenth year, the lectures are held in memory of Professor Michael Beesley, who founded the series in 1991 and organized them until his death in 1999. He was a leading architect of the British system of utility regulation and a Managing Trustee of the Institute of Economic Affairs.

Each evening will begin at the Institute of Directors at 6.30pm. Delegates are encouraged to network over refreshments until 7pm, when the lecture will commence. An industry-leading speaker will give a one hour lecture and a specialist will give a short response before handing over to the audience for further discussion. Each lecture will end at 8.45pm with refreshments.
