The Bundeskartellamt has found that the leading German wholesalers unlawfully agreed on prices for the sale of pesticides products with each other in the years from 1998 to March 03, 2015. The wholesalers have admitted to this infringement to the Bundeskartellamt. They can now no longer dispute these findings. According to the law, this means that the wholesalers involved in the cartel are jointly and severally liable for all damage resulting from these price agreements.

To participate, first register on our website without obligation. No costs, no fees or risks. Only in case of success LitFin will receive a comparatively small part, about 25% of the recovered amount as a success commission. The exact percentage of this share depends on the amount of your claim for damages as well as on whether you are a member of an association cooperating with us. Therefore, the share LitFin will receive may be significantly less than 25%. You will be informed about the exact amount before your claims are asserted with a lawsuit. Thus, in the event of success, you will receive approximately 75% (or possibly even more) of the amount recovered for you from damages and interest. In the event of losing, you will not incur any costs, as LitFin will assume these as a litigation financier.
