The Effect of Linguistic Uncertainties on the Consistent Application of the Rules of Competition Law Damages Actions

Summary/Abstract: Competition law damages actions are civil actions for compensation for damages suffered by competitors because of the conduct of companies that have infringed competition law by, for example, price fixing, market sharing, or predatory pricing. Unlike public law enforcement- conducted by competition authorities - which dominates European Union and national competition law, the nature of the regulatory framework for competition law damages actions is such that it mixes public law (illegality) and private law (liability) rules, which operate based on different legal concepts and have different conceptual sets. The rules of competition law damages actions are laid down in the form of a Directive, which, considering the heterogeneity of private law and language in the European Union and the semantic duality of European Union and national legal terminology, has given rise to legislative and enforcement problems resulting in linguistic inconsistencies.
