Kanter's statement regarding enforcing Section 2 appears to be a natural progression from the Biden administration's 2021 statements regarding its determination to investigate and stop entities with significant market power from engaging in the practice of "copy, acquire, or kill." Businesses that improperly acquire and maintain monopoly power now will face regulatory scrutiny depending on the totality of the circumstances and the impact on competition.
Kanter's pivot is contemporaneous with the EU's increased scrutiny of dominant firms in strategic markets and the enactment of legislation - in particular the 2014 EU Damages Directive (see GT Alert) as subsequently transposed into the national laws of the EU Member States, and more recently the introduction of mass damage instruments - such as, e.g., in the Netherlands - that allow for citizens and aggrieved parties in EU countries to file private suits against firms violating the EU competition laws. As the U.S. DOJ ramps up investigations and begins taking to trial cases with a focus on impact on competition and new market realities, the result could be judgments assessing civil and criminal liability under U.S. law that may be actionable under civil law in EU countries. Claimants do not have unrestricted freedom in choosing where to bring their claim simply because they consider that a particular regime is likely to be more favorable to them; complex jurisdictional rules mean they will only have the right to initiate proceedings in certain jurisdictions connected to the claim in some way (e.g., in relation to the location of the defendants' businesses, the place where a contract was performed, or where the harmful event occurred). Nevertheless, global businesses suing other multinationals may well find they have some choice, which can result in so-called "forum-shopping." Antitrust follow-on damages claims are becoming more relevant and important in Europe, with the most prominent jurisdictions in Europe in relation to recovery currently being the Netherlands, Germany, and the UK.
