Tracing Professor Fox in South Africa’s Competition Jurisprudence

This chapter identifies several locations where one might look to trace how Professor Eleanor Fox has contributed to the South African competition regime. Choosing one of those, her contributions to its published jurisprudence, we survey decisions of the competition authorities to find those referring to Professor Fox and her work. Those decisions include ones in the areas of extraterritorial jurisdiction and anticompetitive exclusionary practices. Discussing several prominent cases in those areas, we observe that Professor Fox has been part of the debates within South African jurisprudence from their beginnings, and that her work is considered highly and cited effectively as authority in itself. We argue that, while she has never held the formal position of a litigant or an adjudicator, South Africa’s competition regime is the richer for Professor Fox’s participation and engagement.
