Kilpailuoikeus-wiki is a handbook of Finnish and EU competition law: what the law says, where to find it, and what it means in practice for mergers, cartel cases, and public procurement.

Glossary and Case Law
[muokkaa]- Glossary brings together the wiki's key terms: links to 28 full articles, as well as short, sourced definitions for 20 terms that do not have their own article.
- Key Precedents brings together the decisions of the EU courts, the European Commission, and national authorities that are most often cited in competition law practice.
Sources and Method
[muokkaa]Every legal claim is linked to its primary source: a statutory provision is linked to Finlex at section level, an EU instrument to EUR-Lex, and an authority's position to that authority's own page — the FCCA, the Market Court, or the European Commission.
Secondary sources — mainly law firm publications, in particular Fondia's competition law updates — have been used only where they add something the primary source does not provide: practical interpretation, established market practice, or a summary of decision practice. The primary source for the Glossary's concepts has been the legal-science vocabulary of Tieteen termipankki (the Finnish Terminology Centre's Bank of Terminology for the Sciences).
Every article ends with a list of sources and a review date. The articles follow the same structure: the core concept, practice in Finland and the EU, "see also" links, and sources. The site's most recent changes: change history.
