Granville Technology Group v LG Display Co - Cartel Damages Appeal

The England and Wales Court of Appeal (Civil Division) partially allowed an appeal in Granville Technology Group Ltd & Ors v LG Display Co Ltd, a follow-on cartel damages claim. The original judge awarded £942,438 in damages (after settlements) for losses from an unlawful price-fixing cartel, substantially less than the £4,412,716 assessed. The Court found the judge erred in applying a principle of under-compensation and in determining the overcharge, succeeding on those grounds to a limited extent.
