Testo aggiuntivo
This book is the first comprehensive, practical textbook on cartel damages in the EU and the UK. It covers the key legal principles and provides an essential guide to the economic methodologies employed to calculate damages in cartel cases. ... It is also very effective at grounding its content in practical examples and the latest case law. I would highly recommend this book to a wide range of readers, including lawyers, in-house counsel and economics consultants working in this area, judges who are likely decide on such cases, and academics researching the private enforcement of competition law. Although the book focuses on the EU and the UK, the key issues and methodologies for calculating damages will be highly relevant to readers across many other jurisdictions.
