Abstract/Description:

Competition law remedies have recently become the focus of academic scholars with a number of publications dedicated to this topic in the United States (US) and in the European Union (EU). The Microsoft litigation was the catalyst of this evolution, as designing adequate remedies constituted one of the most controversial aspects of the case in Europe and the US. Commitment decisions in the EU have also generated a lot of debate on the proportionality of remedial action, in view of the differing standards of judicial scrutiny to which these are subject to, in comparison to infringement decisions.
