Details

The growing enforcement activities undertaken by antitrust authorities worldwide has resulted in parties injured by antitrust infringements increasingly seeking to recover prospective losses before the courts.

These private antitrust claims frequently give rise to a wide range of complex issues for claimants, defendants and courts alike, and this area of law continues to evolve rapidly.

The Private Antitrust Litigation Global Guide provides a high level overview of the legal basis for bringing private antitrust litigation actions; parties to an action; limitation periods and forum; standard of proof and liability; costs and timing; pre-trial applications and hearings; alternative dispute resolution; settlement or discontinuance of an action; proceedings at trial; available defences; available remedies; appeals and proposed legislative reform.

The Private Antitrust Litigation Global Guide serves as a single, essential, starting point of practical reference for both clients and practitioners in considering the various merits of commencing, defending or settling antitrust claims.
