Collective Competition Actions: Challenges for Case and Costs Management

It is timely to reflect on the mounting scale, complexity and scope of collective actions in competition cases. I have just had an article published in Issue 10 of TL4’s Disputes Magazine where I discuss how the ongoing Interchange Fees and Trucks Litigation cases and others will continue to pose challenges for case management in the Competition Appeal Tribunal. I also note that some funding agreements will need to be revised to reflect the Supreme Court’s recent ruling R (on the application of PACCAR Inc and others) (Appellants) v Competition Appeal Tribunal and others (Respondents) [2023] UKSC 28. Navigating the future landscape will require a delicate balancing exercise between proportionality, fairness and reasonable cost.
