There is an ever-growing need for clear and workable rules to co-ordinate cross-border actions, whether they are of a judicial or administrative nature. This book offers in-depth analysis of these long neglected yet practically important topics. The book is the fruit of a research project funded by the European Commission which brought together experts from academia, practice and policy-making from across Europe and the United States. The contributions critically analyse the existing legislative framework and formulate specific proposals that would enhance cross-border antitrust litigation in the future.

Innovative books on the perennial, as well as emerging, problems thrown up by international litigation. This series provides an outlet for modern scholarly works on private international law. As such it aims to include monographs, edited collections and shorter specialised works which reflect the wide intellectual and practical scope of private international law, providing academics and practitioners with a new source of original and innovative books on the perennial, as well as emerging, problems thrown up by international litigation.
