Class Action

Beyond the intervention of competition authorities, anticompetitive practices could result in private actions, with the objective to compensate victims and repair damages. The issue of civil action in Europe is currently debated, in a context of underenforcement by public authorities. In France, the debate focuses on the opportunity to introduce a "class action" system.
