When parents pay for their children's wrongs: Attribution of liability for EC antitrust infringements in parent-subsidiary scenarios
Article Abstract:
The legal analysis of the elements considered by the European Commission when deciding whether to attribute liability to parent companies for infringements by their subsidiaries, as well as the stance taken on this matter by the Court of First Instance and the European Court of Justice is reported. The Commission should reduce uncertainty, should avoid unnecessary litigation and artificial procedural complexity arising from the fact that undertakings are currently unaware of the effect that their conduct during the procedure may have on decisions regarding liability.
