Summary/Abstract: The article concentrates on the problem of the liability of cartel participants towards third parties for infringements of competition law. First of all, the legal basis for the redress and the resulting rights for third parties were analysed. This was followed by judgments of the CJEU and national courts, in which victims – not bound by a contract with the cartel participants – claimed damages from them. The analysis of the case-law shows how far the liability of the cartel participants reaches and what are the limitations of this liability.
