In September, our London colleagues Sarah Turnbull and Elaine Whiteford contributed a chapter to the 7th edition of The International Comparative Legal guide to: Competition Litigation 2015.
Their chapter discusses a number of significant developments and clarifications over the past year in relation to private damages actions and notes that during the last twelve months there has been a series of “could have beens” and “might have beens” in the world of private damages actions.
Prior to the summer of 2014, all eyes were on two cases pending before the English courts – Cooper Tire and National Grid – which had been on foot since 2007 and 2008 respectively. Having taken years to work their way through the English courts, grappling along the way with issues around jurisdiction, Masterfoods stays and Pfleiderer disclosure, these two cases were finally due to be heard at full trial in the summer of 2014.
Read their chapter in full.
