SUMMARY:BECCLE seminar om økonomiske eksperters rolle i den private håndhevelsen av konkurransereglene
DESCRIPTION:BECCLE inviterer til seminar om økonomiske eksperters rolle i saker om erstatning for brudd på konkurransereglene den 16. april kl. 14:00 til 1530. Frode Steen (NHH og BECCLE) og Lars Sørgard (NHH og BECCLE) som begge har vært involvert i denne typen saker som ekspertvitner eller domstolsoppnevnte eksperter\, vil innlede om temaet. \nDet siste ti-året har vi sett en økt aktivitet hva angår erstatningssaker som følger av brudd på konkurranseloven. I slike saker er det krevende å beregne tapet for kundene som følge av bruddet på konkurransereglene. Anslag på tap som følge av konkurransebrudd\, i den grad det skal beregnes\, vil typisk bli gjort av økonomiske eksperter. I dette seminaret vil vi gjennom to eksempler belyse hvilken rolle økonomiske eksperter kan ha i erstatningssaker. Den ene saken omhandler ulovlig prissamarbeid i lastebilmarkedet i flere europeiske land\, en sak som har gått for retten i Norge. Den andre saken omhandler misbruk av dominans i markedet for elektrisk kraft i Danmark\, en sak som har gått for retten i Danmark. \n \n  \nFrode Steen er professor i samfunnsøkonomi ved Institutt for Samfunnsøkonomi på NHH\, og er nå leder for NHHs forskningsprogram FOOD på NHH som er finansiert av NorgesGruppen. Hans forskning og undervisning omhandler konkurranse\, og han har vært mye brukt som ekspertvitne i konkurransesaker. Han representerte Posten i erstatningssøksmålet mot det såkalte  lastebilkartellet som gikk for norske domstoler. \n \n  \nLars Sørgard er professor i samfunnsøkonomi ved NHH\, og hans forskning og undervisning omhandler konkurranse. Han var i perioden 2016-22 konkurransedirektør\, og var i perioden 2022-25 leder for BECCLE. Han var skøndsmann (ekspert oppnevnt av retten) i saken om misbruk av dominans i markedet for elektrisk kraft i Danmark. \n  \nTid: 16. april 2026 kl 14:00-15:30 \nSted: Juridisk Fakultet\, Universitetet i Bergen\, Auditorium 4 \nTema: Økonomiske eksperter i erstatningssaker \nInnledere: Frode Steen og Lars Sørgard \nThe seminar will be streamed on Zoom    \n

SUMMARY:Google Android – The Final Word from the European Court of Justice
DESCRIPTION:THE EUROPEAN COURT OF JUSTICE REJECTED GOOGLE’S APPEAL AGAINST THE JUDGMENT OF THE GENERAL COURT AND CONFIRMED THE PENALTY IMPOSED FOR GOOGLE’S ABUSE OF DOMINANCE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE ANDROID OPERATING SYSTEM \nThomas Vinje\, Professor II on the Faculty of Law at UiB and Chair Emeritus of Clifford Chance’s Global Antitrust Group\, visits BECCLE to discuss the key issues addressed by the Court in case C-738/22 P\, Google Android. He will be joined by Katharine Missenden\, Counsel at Clifford Chance Brussels. \n  \n  \n  \nThomas and Katharine will focus on the key issues of principle at issue on the appeal\, including \n\nTo prove an Article 102 infringement\, must the Commission undertake a (but-for) counterfactual analysis proving what the competitive situation would have been had the dominant company not engaged in the contested conduct?\nTo establish an Article 102 infringement\, are the Commission (and the General Court) systematically required to extend their examination beyond the capacity of the dominant player’s conduct to restrict competition and to assess whether that conduct was capable specifically of foreclosing competitors as efficient as the dominant company?\nIn establishing infringement\, must the entire factual and commercial context be taken into account in assessing whether an abuse has occurred – including conduct that has itself been found not to be abusive?\n\nThomas filed the complaint on behalf of FairSearch against Google that led the European Commission to pursue its case against Google on its Android-related conduct.  He pursued the complaint throughout the administrative proceedings leading to the Commission’s decision against Google and represented FairSearch in support of the European Commission in Google’s appeal before the General Court and Court of Justice of the European Union.  Katharine worked with Thomas on the appeals before both European Courts. \nLocation: Faculty of Law\, University of Bergen\, Auditorium 3\nWhen: Thursday 1. October\,  10:15-11.30 \nThe seminar will be streamed and a zoom link will come here:
