CURRENT CASES
Flat Glass
We are currently speaking to a number of claimants who wish to recover losses arising from a cartel who fixed the price of flat glass during 2004-5. Flat glass is used in the construction sector, including basic float glass, low emissivity glass, laminated glass and unprocessed mirror glass.
The Cartel
In 2007, the European Commission found that leading manufacturers of flat glass conspired to unlawfully increase prices of flat glass during 2004-5. The cartelists included Asahi, Guardian, Pilkington and Saint-Gobain.
Although fines have been imposed on the companies addressed by the Commission, none of this money is used to compensate those who have suffered damages as a result of this illegal activity. The Commission specifically states in every press release that any company affected by such illegal actions has a right, and are encouraged to pursue a claim for damages before the courts of a Member State.

If you are a purchaser of flat glass, you may have been significantly overcharged during the caretlised period.
