2024 marks the ten-year anniversary of the European Commission’s Damages Directive (2014/104/EU). What have we learned in that time?

The Damages Directive has helped improve the evidence available to court. But challenges remain. In the latest edition of The Analysis, Jasper Haller and Soledad Pereiras propose three practical ways to enhance the use of economic analysis to help fulfil the directive’s aim.
