This is illegal as it prevents customers access to fair competition within the market, and it can also affect other businesses trying to compete in the market who are not a part of the cartel.<\/p>\n<p>As MAN was the whistle-blowing truck company who revealed the existence of the cartel they were not fined; but they will still have to answer for claims made against them.<\/p>\n<p>If companies are found to have breached competition law <strong>they can be fined up to 10% of their global turnover<\/strong> for several years, as well as have third parties bring an action for damages against them if they have suffered a loss from the anti-competitive behaviour. The European Commission is allowing individuals and groups to bring claims forward against the truck companies.<\/p>\n<p>A cartel, which is what we have in this case here, is often seen as the most <strong>serious form of anti-competitive behaviour<\/strong> that takes place between competitors. Individuals can be prosecuted and face prison sentences of up to five years, and can have an unlimited fines imposed on them personally.<\/p>\n<h3>We can help<\/h3>\n<p>We specialise in group action claims.
