Assessment of damages in the jet fuel sector – ongoing

Lear is assisting a major oil company against a request for damages due to its alleged participation in a cartel between other jet fuel suppliers in the Italian market. The quantitative analysis of Lear’s economists shows that the alleged practices did not have any significant effect on market prices. Furthermore, Lear argues that passing on, by the plaintiff, of any alleged increment in jet fuel prices would have been substantial and relevant in any case.
