Quantum Mechanics: The Evolving Role of Economic Evidence in UK Competition Disputes

Share

The growth of collective competition litigation has transformed the role of economics within the UK disputes landscape. Economic evidence is now rarely confined to quantifying damages once legal issues have largely been established. Increasingly, it shapes decisions from the very outset of a case: whether a claim is viable, whether it can be certified, how liability is frames, how damages are assessed and, ultimately, whether a case succeeds.

That evolution is reflected throughout our report and related content seen below.
