Abstract
This paper analyses and evaluates the Hungarian Competition Office’s private enforcement generating decisional practice on commitments. It pertains to this practice that commitments often remedy the detrimental consequences of competition violations and provide compensation for the victims. The paper examines what role commitment procedures could have in promoting competition law’s private enforcement.
