The conference aimed at discussing the place for judicial deference in the area of law that requires expert knowledge and involves policy questions: competition law. The discussion included the theoretical and axiological aspects of judicial deference in administrative law, the place for judicial deference to competition authority’s economic assessment and determinations regarding fines as well as the link between the institutional and the procedural organisation of the proceedings before the competition authority and the intensity of judicial review. The conference was organised in frame of the research project ‘The Limits of Judicial Assessment in Competition Law’ funded by the Polish National Science Centre (UMO-2014/15/D/HS5/01562).
The conference was supported by Clifford Chance, Gessel and Modzelewska&Paśnik law firms.
