UK antitrust claims can involve ‘excessive’ expert testimony, worries judge in trucks cartel case

MLex, 20/9/24

Michael Green, who ruled on the case at the Competition Appeal Tribunal in 2023, said tens of thousands of pages of evidence had been generated and there should have been “a more measured, proportionate approach," even in the "adversarial" context of such cases.
