Our annual half-day conference in London will feature a distinguished group of academic, regulatory and industry leaders in dynamic conversation.
A decade ago, economists were instructed to quantify damages once the legal issues had largely been settled. Today, in collective proceedings before the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT), economic analysis informs funding, certification, liability, and damages alike. Judicial expectations have risen alongside, most visibly in the CAT’s Practice Direction on Expert Evidence.
The programme will centre on a new white paper from Cornerstone Research, ‘Quantum Mechanics: The Evolving Role of Economic Evidence in UK Competition Disputes.’ The paper draws on interviews with senior competition litigators in London acting for claimants and defendants and considers the implications of the Practice Direction for how economic evidence is deployed and scrutinised.
The event will also feature Richard Feasey in a fireside chat following the opening panel. Mr. Feasey will offer his reflections on nearly a decade as a CMA Panel Member and Inquiry Chair for Phase 2 merger reviews, market inquiries, and regulatory appeals.
