Conceptualising Procedural Fairness in EU Competition Law

What constitutes a fair procedure when it comes to EU competition law?<br/><br/>This innovative book seeks to understand the philosophical considerations at the core of conflicting procedural fairness arguments in EU competition law practice. The author argues for a conceptualisation of procedural fairness as a distributional issue that can be solved by a practical fairness theory and a comprehensive methodology. To illustrate the usefulness of the conceptualisation three procedural fairness problems from recent EU competition law practice are analysed: <br/><br/>- the KME-Chalkor cases;<br/>- the Groupe Gascogne cases;<br/>- the regulatory question about using a collective redress mechanism for private enforcement of EU competition law. <br/><br/>This unique approach provides a robust philosophical and methodological foundation for arguing about a wide range of procedural fairness dilemmas. The book is a must-read for academics and practitioners seeking an imaginative perspective on the philosophical foundations of arguments about procedural fairness in EU competition law and beyond.
