N2 - During the last decade, antitrust arbitration has experienced some turbulent times. While many national courts decided against the arbitrability of competition disputes, a handful of them allowed for such proceedings to take place before an arbitral tribunal. Recently, the U.S. Department of Justice has relied on arbitration to resolve an antitrust dispute in the United States v. Novelis Inc. et al. Case. In Europe, the trend of enforcing arbitration clauses for the resolution of antitrust matters was launched in Microsoft Mobile OY v. Sony Europe Ltd. et al. case, EWHC 374 (Ch) (2017) (“the Microsoft Case”). This blog post talks about the German stance on the matter.
