CII Thinkpiece 43: Time for collective action? Redressing the damaging effects of cartels on small businesses »
This paper examines some of the harmful effects of cartels on
small businesses and discusses reasons why firms remain reluctant
to claim for damages. The paper then moves on to highlight the
affordable options open to SMEs for redress, and the opportunities
for insurance firms to become the underwriters of collective
action. Ingrid Gubbay was previously legal adviser to the
campaigns section of Which?, and in this capacity brought the UK's
first anti-trust representative action for damages on behalf of
consumers (JJB Sports vs Consumers Association). She has written
and presented widely on public enforcement for damages and
antitrust law.
CII Papers in Professionalism 7: Everyobdy Wins: Pro Bono as a Hallmark of the Professional »
Pro bono work is a hallmark of the true professional. Most of

"giving something back" through in-kind work for the public or
volunteering in support of the community also plays a part. It
enriches our society, and has the added benefit of enhancing trust
and confidence in our profession.
