Antitrust Damages Claims in Spain

Authors: Marcos, Francisco;

Antitrust Damages Claims in Spain

Abstract

Tras describir brevemente el marco institucional y legal de las reclamaciones de daños y perjuicios por infracciones del Derecho de la competencia en España, este trabajo analiza la experiencia de nuestros tribunales en la decisión de estas acciones y muestra el aumento de las demandas follow-on en casos de cárteles en los últimos cinco años. Adicionalmente, las reclamaciones por daños y perjuicios por infracciones de la competencia declaradas o conocidas con posterioridad al 27 de mayo de 2017 se regirán por las disposiciones legales nacionales que trasponen la Directiva 2014/104/UE. Aunque en el pasado ha habido algunos pronunciamientos sobre daños por abuso de posición dominante y restricciones verticales (tanto follow-on como stand-alone), ahora las acciones follow-on en caso de cárteles son las más numerosas. En ellas, los demandantes privados “pisan los talones” a las autoridades de competencia. El descubrimiento por parte de las autoridades de competencia de algunos carteles en varias industrias ha allanado el camino para las demandas por daños de sus víctimas. Después de que el Tribunal Supremo dictara dos sentencias pioneras sobre la indemnización de los daños y perjuicios causados por el cártel del azúcar, se han planteado sucesivas reclamaciones de daños por los afectados por el cártel de los sobres de papel, el cártel de los seguros inmobiliarios decenales y, sobre todo, el cártel de los fabricantes de camiones. After briefly describing the institutional and l egal framework for antitrust damages claims in Spain, this article surveys the courts’ experience in deciding these actions and shows the rise in cartel follow-on claims in the last five years. Damages claims for antitrust infringements declared or known after the 27 May 2017 will be governed by national legal provisions implementing Directive 2014/104/UE. Although there had been in the past some antitrust damages cases for abuse of dominance and vertical restraints (both follow-on and stand-alone), nowadays follow-on cartel actions are the most numerous. Therein, private plaintiffs tread on the heels of competition authorities. Competition authorities’ unearthing of major cartels in several industries has paved the way for damages suits by their victims. After the Supreme Court decided the leading case of damages’ claims in the sugar cartel, follow-on on damages claims have germinated from the paper envelopes cartel, the decennial real estate insurance cartel and, most notably, the truck manufacturers’ cartel.
