Key Principle

In quantifying damages for loss caused by an unlawful cartel, the court uses a 'broad axe' to estimate loss but must aim to award the correct measure of compensation without erring on the side of under-compensation, and a defendant's downstream pass-on defence succeeds only where there is a direct and proximate causative link between the overcharge and the prices the claimant charged its own customers.
