abstract

  • Recent court decisions offer new perspectives on private antitrust litigation in Spain. Although case law is currently limited, the variety of cases highlights the possibilities of private
    enforcement both as substitute and complement to public enforcement.
    Juan Delgado, Chief Economist at the Spanish competition authority
    (Comisión Nacional de la Competencia), and Eduardo Pérez Asenjo of the
    Chief Economist Team, present an overview of private enforcement cases
    in Spain, focusing on the methodology used to quantify damages and the
    role of competition authorities in this process.
