On December 8 2016 the First Collegiate Tribunal on Administrative Matters Specialised in Economic
Competition, Broadcasting and Telecommunications recognised the concept of attorney-client
privilege and the attorney-client work product doctrine in an antitrust context for the first time (for
further details please see “Courts recognise attorney-client privilege in antitrust matter for first
time”). However, the tribunal’s ruling was non-binding and could be used by specialised judges only
as a guide.
