Summary/Abstract: The reviewed court judgment addresses the issue of algorithmic pricing, which is of major importance especially in the current digital age. In the investigated case, the liability for infringing competition law was also assigned to a third party (software provider) active on a different market than the travel agencies (original competitors). However, this issue is not further investigated by CJEU. In its judgment, the court emphasizes also the grounds for applying the principle of the presumption of innocence to anti-trust proceedings
