CARTEL RULING

An EU court has agreed that companies benefitting by taking advantage of the artificially high prices caused by the illegal actions of a cartel – even if they were not involved in the running of it – may be legally sued by businesses that can prove they incurred loss as a result.

The ruling by the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) is expected to increase the likelihood of compensation payments to victims of cartels in member states and to improve competition.
