27th Annual Competition Conference
15 Sep - 16 Sep 2023
Session information
Description
The law on unilateral conduct (abuse of dominance) has been generating headlines and is in a state of flux in the EU, US and other jurisdictions around the world. This panel will discuss recent cases, important court judgments and developments in enforcement trends. We will discuss the European Commission's amendments to its enforcement guidance paper and call for evidence on exclusionary abuses. Is the ‘effects-based’ approach being abandoned in favour of a more formalistic or ex ante regulatory approach? The panel will also discuss the relevant legal tests coming out of the case law, how economics plays a role in the analysis and practical tips for how companies can assess their conduct to ensure compliance.
