Milbank LLP special counsel Mark Padley spoke on a panel discussing the topic of “Assessing Trials and Early Judgments in the Collective Actions Regime” at the Competition Collective Actions Forum 2025. This covered some of the recent developments in UK competition and class action litigation, including the first judgment in a UK class action (Le Patourel v BT) and the issue of pass-on, which was the subject of a recent trial that Mr. Padley was involved in. Pass-on, which considers the extent to which losses may have been passed-on to indirect consumers further down the supply chain, is also a particularly crucial issue for both defendants and claimants in a number of ongoing UK competition cases.
The conference, held in London on June 5, 2025, was organized by ThoughtLeaders4 Competition and the agenda can be found here.
