The Competition Cast - Court of Appeal clarifies the reach of competition claims

Can it award damages where a defendant has “taken something for nothing”?  In our latest Competition Cast episode, Michael Zymler is joined by partners Luke Streatfeild and Daniel Hunt to discuss two recent Court of Appeal judgments - ValueLicensing v Microsoft and Meta Platforms Inc & Others v Gormsen - and consider what the two judgments mean for the scope of the CAT’s jurisdiction, the remedies available in competition cases, and what it means for claims involving the wrongful appropriation of online data.
