The third edition of Competition Damages Actions in the EU and the UK stands as the most comprehensive and coherent reference point on damages actions for breach of EU competition law. This extensively revised and restructured edition offers a detailed exploration of the legal framework governing actions for damages resulting from infringements of Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), both within the EU and the UK.

The book provides a comprehensive guide to the jurisprudence emerging from both jurisdictions, with a meticulous reference to Directive 2014/104, and incorporates additional detail throughout on the variations in practice and interpretation in key member states. It addresses substantive issues such as quantification of loss and pass-on, as well as evidentiary matters, including access to documents, particularly in the context of leniency programs, and the probative value of competition authority decisions.

New to this edition is an extensive treatment of collective redress in the EU and collective proceedings in the UK. Furthermore, the book has been restructured to present material on the parties to litigation and limitation, among other topics, in separate chapters, ensuring a clear and organized presentation.
