ANDREY TENISHEV ABOUT EXPOSING CARTELS AND JUDICIAL PRACTICE IN THIS FIELD

Judges of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, Arbitration Courts and General Jurisdiction Courts, representatives of the authorities as well as the leading academic schools and legal practitioners discussed various aspects of holding liable for cartel agreements, global experience of applying per se prohibition and possibility to use it in Russian judicial practice as well as employment of economic analysis as evidence in investigating cartels

The II Annual Research-to-Practice Conference – “Antimonopoly disputes: theory and practice” took place at the Chamber of Trade and Industry of the Russian Federation on 18 October 2019. The event was organized by the Private Law Research Centre and the Russian State University of Justice with involvement of representatives of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.

Head of FAS Anti-Cartel Department Andrey Tenishev took part in the Section on the “Boundaries of prohibitions on competition-restricting agreements and concerted actions”.

“More than ten years have passed since the Plenum of the Supreme Arbitration Court that passed No.30 Ruling “On some issues emerging due to Arbitration Courts applying the antimonopoly law”. During this period economic relations have changed radically, the antimonopoly law has changed, and the law enforcement and judicial practice are established. A lot of questions have accumulated that require serious academic research and generlization”, pointed out Andrey Tenishev.

Head of FAS Anti-Cartel Department concluded: “Hopefully, next year the Plenum of the Supreme Arbitration Court of Russia will give explanations with regard to judicial practice on antimonopoly cases, and it will facilitate positive development of Russian antitrust”.
