Competition Claims

If you personally, or your organisation, has been the victim of anti-competitive behaviour, you may be entitled to claim for Competition Compensation.

In the UK, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is responsible for regulating business and stopping anti-competitive behaviour.

They can investigate and prosecute companies for anti-competitive behaviour amongst other business practices deemed as unfair; working with the European Commissioner for Competition to ensure a level playing field across the European Economic Area.

If an organisation or a group of organisations are found to have breached UK legislation that is designed to protect Consumers from being taken advantage of, we as Competition Lawyers can step in pursue monetary damages for victims involved - which includes individuals and organisations who have been affected.

Typically for Competition Compensation, you are claiming for a financial loss. In terms of paying a higher price through Price Fixing and Cartels, you can typically claim the monetary difference between what you actually paid and what you ought to have paid.

If you have been unfairly pushed out of the market because of another competitor abusing their market position, through predatory pricing as one example, you could claim for loss of revenue as a result of what's happened.

Claims of this nature normally allow for a victim to claim for interest as well - so you can recover the financial loss and interest on top of the amount claimed.
