UK Competition Law - The Latest Developments

Introduction

The world of competition litigation and class actions is evolving quickly, and this year has seen a number of firsts:

• The first Court of Appeal judgment in a secret cartel case in which the Court of Appeal has given guidance on important matters such as expert independence and the role of expert evidence
• The first court approved settlements in collective proceedings
• The first trial in a collective action has proceeded in Justin le Patourel v BT Group PLC

There have also been developments in litigation funding following the judgment in PACCAR last year and developments in the law of pass-on as the CAT grapples with handling cases at different levels of supply chains.

This webinar will bring you up to speed on these latest developments, explain their impact on current and future cases and provide tips for litigating future claims in light of these developments. It will also touch on how we can expect the recently enacted Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act to influence the competition litigation landscape.
