Overview
This book provides the first detailed examination of how private individuals and companies can enforce their rights under competition law against other private parties in the EU and UK. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal basis for private antitrust enforcement both under EC and the new UK law, and of the available procedures and remedies. The book then goes on to systematically survey all of the key issues of law and practice that arise in private antitrust litigation in the USA, such as locus standi, antitrust injury, methods of proof of damage, types of damage for which compensation is recoverable, and the principles of antitrust damage calculation. In each case, the author draws upon his experience of such litigation as a practitioner in the USA to set out detailed practical conclusions as to how the same issues should be addressed in the EU and UK.

...detailed comparative work...Jones sets out to dispel a number of the myths and prejudices that surround private enforcement...and he has done this admirable. * Angus MacCulloch Modern Law Review, November 2000 * an extremely timely book ... Jones's scholarly monograph provides extremely interesting insights ... Jones's lucid treatment of [the bipolar system: Community rights-national remedies] is extremely useful not just for EC competition law, but also for Community law in general ... Clifford-Jones's net achievement is double: he places private enforcement of EC competition law in the more general context of effectiveness of Community law, and at the same time he succeeds in clearing many European misconceptions on the US system of private antitrust enforcement. It would be hard to identify any weaknesses ... this is an excellent and prescient book that should appeal not just to competition but also to general Community lawyers. * Claus-Dieter Ehlermann and Assimakis P.
