| Description | The new law introduces a number of innovations into Czech law to facilitate the recovery of damages caused by breach of competition rules. The law expressly presupposes the occurrence of damage resulting from the cartel, while it will be for the defendant to prove that the damage suffered has not been incurred. It is also a novelty to introduce a rule that compensation should take account of the so-called time detriment of money. The law also seeks to facilitate the way for compensation by specifically addressing the issue of disclosure of evidence and attempts to bridge the information asymmetry, which in practice significantly impedes the exercise of these claims. The publication deals with purely national aspects, and also pays great attention to cross-border relations, both from the point of applicable law and the determination of international jurisdiction. |
