Private enforcement of competition law plays an important role in complementing public enforcement by competition authorities. By enabling businesses and consumers harmed by anti-competitive conduct to seek compensation, private actions can strengthen deterrence, improve compliance with competition rules and contribute to restoring losses caused by infringements.
In December 2026, the OECD will discuss recent developments in private enforcement of competition law. The discussion will explore approaches to compensation claims across jurisdictions, key procedural and evidentiary challenges, and the role of competition authorities in supporting effective private enforcement while ensuring consistency with public enforcement objectives.
