Abstract
Alongside the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, Germany is among the EU Member States where private enforcement is becoming increasingly important in practice. This tendency shows clearly in the growing number of legal proceedings initiated by plaintiffs in either follow-on or stand-alone cases. The goal of this paper is to present the most recent developments in German jurisprudence concerning private enforcement of competition law. Particular emphasis is paid to alternative models of collective enforcement. The paper also covers key changes introduced into the German legal system upon the implementation of Directive 2014/104.
