RBB expert gives evidence on competitive effects of alleged exclusionary behaviour before UK CAT

RBB was instructed to assist PayPoint (a provider of, inter alia, prepayment services to energy suppliers in Great Britain) during the trial stage of its litigation with GLOBAL-365 (also a payment services provider).  The matter concerned a claim by GLOBAL-365 that it had been excluded from the energy prepayment services market and had therefore suffered loss as a result of PayPoint’s alleged anti-competitive behaviour (and in particular, exclusivity clauses in PayPoint’s contracts). 

Adrian MajumdarAdrian MajumdarManaging Partner gave expert evidence in the hot-tub and was cross-examined on topics including market definition, dominance, competitive effects of the alleged exclusionary behaviour, and the appropriate counterfactual.  Adrian worked alongside an RBB team including Jacob MullerJacob MullerPrincipal, George SnaithGeorge SnaithSenior Associate and Jane RosenbergJane RosenbergSenior Associate.
