Private Enforcement of Antitrust Law in the EU, UK and USA

This book provides the first detailed examination of how individuals or companies can enforce their rights under competition law against other private parties in the EU, UK and USA. The author, an experienced practitioner in the field, provides a comparative analysis of how the issues that are central to US private litigation such as locus standi, antitrust injury, methods of proof of damage and the principles of antitrust damage calculation should be addressed in the EU and UK. Specific examples of US case law and the judicial application of damage rules are examined in detail so as to draw practical conclusions for antitrust legislation in Europe.
