¿Por qué dice la doctrina alemana que no procede la impugnación de los acuerdos sociales que dan derecho de separación? 13 diciembre, 2019

Y la culpa es de la aplicación del principio de tracto sucesivo a un registro de actos y contratos como es el Registro Mercantil y a la división provincial del mismo que podía tener sentido en 1919 pero que no lo tiene en la actualidad. Por no hablar del coste económico. Obsérvese cómo la “coordinación” entre dos oficinas […]

Buyer Beware! – are purchase price fixing cases exempt from the consumer welfare standard? 9 diciembre, 2019

La doctrina jurisprudencial sobre el «hallazgo causal» y su supeditación a la idoneidad y proporcionalidad de la inspección (Sentencia Tribunal Supremo de 22 de octubre de 2019) 6 noviembre, 2019
Uno de los problemas habituales en la aplicación práctica del Derecho Antitrust por parte de autoridades de competencia y judiciales (europeas y españolas) es el de los límites de las actuaciones de inspección. La coexistencia de intereses muy diversos genera conflictos entre los derechos de inspección de la Administración y los de defensa de los afectados o […]
