Programmi di clemenza e azione risarcitoria: convivenza possibile?
2014
This work stems from the European Directive on antitrust damages actions and enquires on the need to preserve the effectiveness of antitrust public and private enforcement within the framework of the relationship between the leniency programmes and actions for damages. As is well known, the leniency programmes allow companies involved in an agreement prohibited by competition law to cooperate with competent Antitrust Authority in order to disclose such an infringement and obtain the immunity or a reduction from fines. This generates the need to preserve the secrecy of leniency statements in order to not deter companies from using such a programme. The Directive provides, inter alia, that na…

Con il d.lg. 13 gennaio 2017, n. 3, è stata data attuazione alla direttiva 2014/104/UE del Parlamento e del Consiglio del 26 novembre 2014, relativa a determinate norme che regolano le azioni per il risarcimento del danno ai sensi del diritto nazionale per violazioni delle disposizioni del diritto della concorrenza degli Stati membri e dell'Unione europea.

Damages claims for anticompetitive conduct after the Directive 2014/104/EU: Is it (still) worth talking about a private law remedy?
2019
Directive 2014/2014/EU puts the private law remedy of non-contractual liability as the pivot of the entire system of antitrust private enforcement. Neither exhaustive nor containing a “full-harmonization rule,” it promotes the approximation of national laws by introducing a set of substantial and procedural measures, whose main goal is granting the effectiveness of the individual rights to compensation conferred by the antimonopolistic provisions of the TFEU. Many elements, however, induce to wonder about the main features and ultimately the very nature of the remedy by means of which “any person” can claim for damages suffered as a consequence of anticompetitive conduct. The author argues …
An overview of the Private Enforcement of Competition Law in Italy
2020
The Essay focuses on many key aspects of the implementation of Directive 104/2014 UE in Italy: Which entity is liable for damages; the law in action of the binding effects of decisions of competition authorities; the law limitations of actions for damages; the Collective actions/pooling of claims. The Author then focuses on some further missing pieces of the puzzle: causation and quantification of damages.

2020
Directive 2014/104/EU on certain rules governing actions for damages under national law for infringements of the competition law provisions of the Member States and of theEuropeanUnion has been transposed in Italy by means of LegislativeDecree no. 3 of 2017, whichlargely reproduces the Directive not only with regard to the structure but also in respect of the wording of the provisions. As with ot her Member States, for example France,Italian lawmakers opted to enact a lex specialis for antitrust damages actions and limited the implementation to what was necessary, without any amendment to the codes of Italy, neither to the Code of Civil Procedure nor to the Civil Code, the latter of which c…
Contratti a valle rimedi civilistici e disciplina della concorrenza
2008
L'entrata in vigore del c.d. regolamento di modernizzazione dell'antitrust europeo (Reg. 1/2003) ha determinato il delinearsi di un sistema misto di enforcement del diritto europeo della concorrenza, ove al tradizionale meccanismo pubblicistico se ne affianca anche uno privatistico. Il volume mette in evidenza le criticità che siffatto impianto di enforcement presenta, tanto dal punto di vista della coerenza complessiva del modello europeo di diritto della concorrenza, quanto dal punto di vista della versatilità dei rimedi del diritto privato ad assolvere ad una qualche funzione di contrasto delle violazioni concorrenziali. Particolare attenzione, entro questa cornice, è dedicata al tema de…
