Book Synopsis EC Private Antitrust Enforcement by : Assimakis Komninos
Download or read book EC Private Antitrust Enforcement written by Assimakis Komninos and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-02-22 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, written by an academic-cum-practitioner with substantial experience in the field of antitrust enforcement, presents the rise of private enforcement of competition law in Europe, especially in the context of the recent modernisation and decentralisation of EC competition law enforcement. In particular, the study examines the role of courts in the application of the EC competition rules and views that role in the broader system of antitrust enforcement. The author starts from the premise of private enforcement's independence of public enforcement and after examining the new institutional position of national courts and their relationship with the Court of Justice, the Commission, and public enforcement in general, proceeds to deal with the detailed substantive and procedural law framework of private antitrust actions in Europe. The author describes the current post-decentralisation state of affairs but also refers to the latest proposals to enhance private antitrust enforcement in Europe both at the Community level, where reference is made to the December 2005 Commission Green Paper on Damages Actions and its aftermath, and at the national level, where reference is made to recent and forthcoming relevant initiatives.

Book Synopsis Private Enforcement of EC Competition Law by : Jürgen Basedow
Download or read book Private Enforcement of EC Competition Law written by Jürgen Basedow and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2007-03-15 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Commission’s recent Green Paper on damages actions for breach of EC antitrust rules stirred a debate across Europe on the need for legal reform that would encourage private plaintiffs to claim compensation for losses suffered as a result of anticompetitive conduct. Prominent in the wake of that initiative was the international conference convened by the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law in Hamburg in April 2006, the papers and proceedings of which are presented in this important book. Among the topics and issues raised and discussed here are the following: – the 2001 Courage judgment of the European Court of Justice, in which the court decided that everyone who suffers losses from a violation of arts. 81 or 82 EC is entitled to compensation; – relevance of the case law that contributes to general principles of European tort law; – comparative analysis from the more comprehensive experience of national laws in the United States, Germany, France, and Italy; – calculation of damages; – passing-on of losses sustained in an upstream market to customers in a downstream market; – procedural devices which may help to overcome the lack of implementation; – duties of disclosure and the burden of proof; – collective actions that may help to overcome the rational abstention of individuals; – pitfalls of leniency programmes implemented by national competition authorities; and – issues of jurisdiction and choice of law. The lively debates that followed the presentations at the conference are also recorded here. Although more discussion will be needed before a viable legal framework in this area begins to emerge, these ground-breaking contributions by lawyers of various disciplines, jurists, economists, academics, and European policymakers take a giant step forward. For lawyers, academics, and officials engaged with this important area of international law, this book clearly improves our understanding of the economic need and legal particularities which could generate an effective European system of private antitrust litigation.
Book Synopsis European Competition Law Annual 2001 by : Claus-Dieter Ehlermann
Download or read book European Competition Law Annual 2001 written by Claus-Dieter Ehlermann and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2003-07-22 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Competition Law Annual 2001 is the sixth in a series of volumes following the annual workshops on EU Competition Law and Policy held at the Robert Schuman Centre of the European University in Florence. The volume reproduces the materials of the roundtable debate that took place at the sixth edition of the Workshop (1-2 June 2001),which examined the conditions for an effective private enforcement of EC antitrust rules. The application of EC antitrust rules in the context of private litigation before national courts and arbitration tribunals is becoming a highly topical subject against the background of the on-going debate about the decentralisation of EC antitrust enforcement. The participants – a group of senior representatives of the Commission, national judges, arbitrators, renowned academics and international legal experts in the field of antitrust - discussed in particular the following aspects: a) the availability and effectiveness of substantive remedies in the enforcement of EC antitrust rules at the EU level in general and in four major EU jurisdictions in particular (England, France, Italy and Germany); b) the procedural issues arising in the enforcement of EC antitrust rules by national courts in four EU jurisdictions (England, France, Italy and Germany) and at the EU level in general; c) the problems arising in the application of Article 81(3) EC by arbitration tribunals. In addition to these issues, the participants also discussed whether the public enforcement of EC antitrust rules could be rendered more efffective by introducing sanctions applicable to the individuals responsible for their violation.

Book Synopsis Principles of European Antitrust Enforcement by : Wouter Wils
Download or read book Principles of European Antitrust Enforcement written by Wouter Wils and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2005-02-22 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After 1 May 2004, the enforcement of European antitrust law entered a new era. At the same time as 10 new Member States joined the European Union, Regulation No 17, which had governed the enforcement of Articles 81 and 82 EC since 1962, was replaced by Regulation No 1/2003, which has ushered in far-reaching changes. This book brings together six essays which analyse the background and main characteristics of the new enforcement system, as well as a number of outstanding questions and potential areas of further reform, including the question whether private antitrust enforcement should be encouraged, and the question whether the decisional power in antitrust matters should be transferred to the courts. Special attention is given to the problem of the compatibility of the new enforcement system and of the practice of European antitrust enforcement with the requirements of the European Convention of Human Rights and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, including the principle of ne bis in idem, the privilege against self-incrimination, and the right to an independent and impartial tribunal. On many of these issues, the discussion contained in this book is not only legal, but also includes an economic analysis from the perspective of efficient law enforcement.
Book Synopsis Private Antitrust Litigation in the European Union and Japan by : Simon Vande Walle
Download or read book Private Antitrust Litigation in the European Union and Japan written by Simon Vande Walle and published by Maklu. This book was released on 2013 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Companies in Europe and Japan are increasingly the target of private antitrust litigation. These lawsuits are being facilitated by favorable case law, legislative changes, and a growing awareness of antitrust remedies in all layers of society. This book analyzes and compares this burgeoning area of litigation in the European Union and Japan. It examines the legal framework for these actions and takes stock of the hundreds of actions for damages and injunctive relief that have been brought in Japan and the EU. It also looks at the novel contexts in which private litigants are invoking antitrust violations, such as in derivative suits and in actions to challenge arbitral awards. Finally, the book assesses the impact of private litigation on the enforcement of antitrust law and shows how Japan's experience can be useful for Europe and vice versa in shaping future reforms.

Book Synopsis The Modernisation of EC Antitrust Law by : Rein Wesseling
Download or read book The Modernisation of EC Antitrust Law written by Rein Wesseling and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2000-10-19 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years European Community (EC) competition law has come under fire. Continued criticism of all aspects of the means by which EC competition law is enforced has brought to light ineffectiveness of the present system. Consequently the European Commission has responded by issuing the “White Paper on Modernisation”,which sets out its vision on the future of EC competition law. This new book takes a step back, and tries to understand the current challenges to EC competition policy by examining the origins of the Community's competition law system. In the first part of the book the author sketches the development of Community competition law enforcement between the European Economic Community, established in 1958, and the European Union of today. Taking this dynamic perspective on EC competition law, the second part of the book addresses topical problems of EC competition policy; the pertinent objectives, the institutional framework, the division of jurisdiction between the Community and Member States, and decentralised enforcement of Community law. Notably, the author's conclusions diverge considerably from the analysis found in the Commission White Paper on Modernisation. The author proposes various alternative solutions to the existing problems which, arguably, fit better within the overall constitutional development of the Community than the solutions offered by the Commission. The book will be of interest to competition lawyers as well as to all those interested in the constitutional development of the European Community.

Book Synopsis Public and Private Enforcement of Competition Law in Europe by : Kai Hüschelrath
Download or read book Public and Private Enforcement of Competition Law in Europe written by Kai Hüschelrath and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past fifteen years, the optimal enforcement of EU competition law has become a major concern. This book contains a unique collection of articles by lawyers and economists on current issues in the public and private enforcement of competition law. Public enforcement has been strengthened in numerous ways – for example, through the introduction of a leniency programme and a substantial increase in fines for competition law violations. At the same time the EU Commission has been promoting private enforcement – for example, by developing a legal framework that grants victims of EU antitrust law infringements access to compensation. The contributions in this book address a range of topics in the area of competition law enforcement, including the role of fines and leniency programmes in public enforcement; access to evidence and the quantification of damages in private enforcement; and the interaction between public and private enforcement of competition law in Europe.
Book Synopsis Private Enforcement of Competition Law by : Luis A. Velasco San Pedro
Download or read book Private Enforcement of Competition Law written by Luis A. Velasco San Pedro and published by Lex Nova. This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 927 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The private enforcement of competition law through damages actions and/or injunctions before ordinary courts of justice is currently the preferred system in the United States. It is playing an increasingly important role in Europe by supplementing a still predominantly public system based on disciplinary rules enforced by public authorities that do not entail compensation for victims. Compensation can only be achieved through private enforcement, which is already viewed as an alternative to the public system. This work, whose origins lie in the International Conference on the private enforcement of Competition Law held at the University of Valladolid's School of Law offers a comprehensive, pluralist overview of the subject by providing transversal approaches, joint assessment and information on various national experiences alongside more specific contributions that study specific matters of substantive and procedural law, by covering practically all the relevant issues in this field. The work also addresses the main problems of the system vis-à-vis private international law and its connection and interaction with public enforcement. Also available in Spanish language, with the title: La aplicación privada del Derecho de la competencia.
Book Synopsis Shaping Private Antitrust Enforcement in Europe by : Mel Marquis
Download or read book Shaping Private Antitrust Enforcement in Europe written by Mel Marquis and published by Hart Pub Limited. This book was released on 2016-08-25 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to provide a first reflection on the Directive on certain rules governing actions for damages for infringement of competition law provisions of the Member States and of the European Union, from a variety of perspectives. It opens with two essays that place the Directive in the wider context of private law harmonisation by the EU and of the role of consumer interests in European Law. Following are two essays from persons involved in the law-making process, providing insight into the legislative tensions and policies. The essays making up the central part of the book take a closer look at the most distinctive elements of the Directive (access to evidence, locus standi, risk of multiple recovery, the binding nature of national competition authorities' decisions) and an assessment of what is missing from it and why. In part, these essays will provide an explanation of how the Directive will likely function, but most will also offer wider reflections on the policy coherence of the proposal and the likely consequences of its implementation. The final part is comparative, including essays on US antitrust law and Australian law.

Book Synopsis The Private Enforcement of Competition Law in Ireland by : David McFadden
Download or read book The Private Enforcement of Competition Law in Ireland written by David McFadden and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-07-18 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Competition is recognised as a key driver of growth and innovation. Competition ensures that businesses continually improve their goods and services whilst striving to reduce their costs. Anti-competitive conduct by businesses, such as price-fixing, causes harm to the economy, to other businesses and to consumers. It is small businesses and the consumer who ultimately pay the price for anti-competitive conduct. A coherent competition policy that is both effectively implemented and effectively enforced is essential in driving growth and innovation in a market economy. The importance of competition was recently emphasised when the EU/ECB/IMF 'Troika' included a number of competition specific conditions to the terms of Ireland's bailout. Both Irish and Community law recognise the right for parties injured by anti-competitive conduct to sue for damages. This right to damages, in theory, allows those that have suffered loss to recover that loss whilst helping to deter others from taking the illegal route to commercial success. However private actions for damages in Ireland are rare. This book asks what the purpose of private competition litigation is and questions why there has been a dearth of this litigation in Ireland. The author makes a number of suggestions for reform of the law to enable and encourage private competition litigation. The author takes as his starting point the European Commission's initiative on damages actions for breach of the EC antitrust rules and compares the position in Ireland to that currently found in the UK and US.
Download or read book Old Bangkok written by Michael Smithies and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2003 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bangkok, the City of Angels, to the uninitiated now seems more like Los Angeles than the Venice of the East by which name it was known to early visitors. Michael Smithies, who first came to work in the city in 1960, has written a sympathetic and stimulating book evoking the early days of the capital, founded in 1782, and its expansion in the nineteenth century. He describes the principal buildings which still survive, the temples and palaces, and corners and crafts which remain relatively unchanged. The second edition has been brought up to date to include such recent additions to the Bangkok scene as the so-called 'skytrain' (soon to be supplemented by an underground line). However, the old buildings, traditions, and trades of early Bangkok retain their charm and character, and in spite of its occasional brashness and impulsive modernization, the Thai capital retains a vibrancy in its anarchic orderliness which makes it one of the more endearing if sometimes confusing cities in South-East Asia."--BOOK JACKET.
