| Title | Collective Redress in the Area of EU Competition Law in the Czech Republic |
| Summary | During the past months, EU Member States have been dealing with an issue of implementation of the Damages Directive and with an associated issue of establishing an effective collective redress framework, as has been strongly recommended by the Commission. As a result, several Member States have created or amended their collective redress system in order to allow injured parties who suffered infringement of the EU law to effectively bring their claims together in courts. In the case of the Czech Republic, there has been no collective redress framework implemented yet. In consequence, the aim of this master thesis is to offer suggestions and solutions to the question of how an ideal collective redress framework in the area of competition law should look like in the Czech Republic. In order to present the respective solutions, the master thesis firstly focuses on the origins of collective redress mechanism, the institute of the U.S. class action, then elaborates upon the European debate on this topic and also covers the current status of collective redress in the Czech Republic. The core of the master thesis, and its main outcomes, are contained in the fifth chapter which deals with the main issues that Czech legislator will need to resolve with respect to Czech collective redress framework. |
