Private Enforcement of Antitrust Law and the Indemnity of Damages Caused by Antitrust Damages. Part II: Transgression of Antitrust Rules as a Fundament of Civil Liability (La Aplicación Privada Del Derecho Antitrust Y La Indemnización De Los Daños Derivados De Ilícitos Contra La Libre Competencia II Parte: La Trasgresión De Las Normas De Libre Competencia Como Fundamento De La Responsabilidad Civil)

Abstract

The private enforcement system in Trust law established by the Reg. 1/2003 enables the foundations to allow the development of indemnity claims caused by antitrust damages. The essential elements of antitrust damages are analysed in the present article according to the guidelines found in the European commission´s Green Book. The recently published White Book as well as the studies on the effects of a future European regulation on the subject increases the number of claims made by victims. Due to this, the subject matter of the article becomes a substantial issue not only for modern Indemnity law but also for Trust law. The development of this branches of the law because of this will stop being in charge of public entities to be left to private subjects.
