Compensation of Damages in Standalone Cases: Lessons to Be Learned from a Case Against a State-owned Telecommunication Company. Case Comment to the Judgment of the Lithuanian Court Of Appeal of 3 March 2017 (Case No. e2A-27-464/2017)
Journal Title: Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 15
Abstract
Private enforcement in Lithuania is still at the early development stage, as only a few infringement decisions of the national competition authority – the Competition Council of the Republic of Lithuania – have been followed on by private antitrust claims. Nevertheless, it might be observed that victims of competition law infringements tend to initiate standalone claims for compensation of damages in Lithuania. However, not all of those cases are successful.
