This session will enable in-house counsel to effectively respond to the need for a large-scale contracts remediation effort. This need may arise as a result of a regulatory enforcement action, such as after a US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violation has occurred, or after a change in regulation, such as when the EU declared the Safe Harbor framework to be invalid. While these efforts tend to be reactive in nature, panelists will pinpoint best practices for proactively identifying all business relationships and collecting and warehousing the associated documentation so that the company will be prepared to respond if needed. Panelists will present case studies of remediation projects, whether undertaken expeditiously under the watchful gaze of a monitor or over time in response to a change in regulation, or after the merger or divestiture of a key supplier.

The paper identifies three issues related to the economics of public interest provisions. Firstly, the paper considers the problem of using public interest provisions as motivation for arbitrary (rather than systematic) interventions in competition cases. The paper relates the problem to broader economic policy uncertainty. Secondly, the paper considers the relationship between public interest objectives and the welfare standard in South African competition cases. Thirdly, the paper considers the analytical requirements for investigating public interest issues, including the need for dynamic rather than static analysis as well as the problem of ‘merger-specificity’, especially in relation to job losses.
