A articulação entre ações de indemnização fundadas em infrações do direito da concorrência intentadas por autores situados em diferentes níveis da cadeia de produção ou distribuição: algumas notas sobre os mecanismos processuais ao dispor do tribunal

In the context of private enforcement of competition law, actions for dama- ges based on infringements of competition law brought by claimants located at different levels of the production or distribution chain pose specific procedural problems in terms of consistency between judicial decisions, which can generate potential negative results, such as overcompen- sation of damages or failure to compensate the injured parties. To guarantee judicial coherence, the law provides that the court may resort to certain procedural mechanisms to avoid such undesirable results.
