These are the antitrust damages actions CDC is currently pursuing before courts across Europe, from Germany and the Netherlands to Spain, Italy and Portugal. In each case, CDC bundles the claims of companies harmed by the same cartel into a single action and pursues them in its own name, at its own cost and risk. Here you can follow how each case is progressing, from evidence and expert analysis to judgments and settlements.
For more than twenty years, CDC has secured compensation for companies harmed by cartels in some of Europe’s most complex antitrust cases. These concluded proceedings include the first large-scale damages action ever brought in Europe and rulings, such as the CJEU’s CDC Hydrogen Peroxide judgment, that shaped the rules of private enforcement across the continent. Each case shows what persistence, robust economic evidence and the bundling of claims can achieve.
Competition authorities regularly uncover new infringements and open investigations into markets where competition may not be working. CDC follows these developments closely, from fines and decisions to market studies, because they may give affected companies a right to compensation. If your business bought products or services in one of these markets, it may be worth assessing whether you have a claim.
