UK Competition Law Update - Key Judgments, Collective Actions & Expert Evidence

Introduction

Competition litigation is evolving quickly, driven by: (i) major recent judgments, including Kent v Apple, Evans v Barclays Bank and others and the pass-on rulings in Interchange Fees and Granville; (ii) new CAT guidance on expert evidence; and (iii) increasing practical experience as the collective actions regime matures, particularly around funding, settlements and distribution. Further changes are expected, in light of the Department for Business and Trade’s review of the regime.

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.
