It is FREE, it is decided in around 15 days and the CNMC (national competition and markets authority) can even go to court for you, at no cost whatsoever to the client.

  • IF THE CNMC GOES TO COURT, the litigation costs the client nothing and a favourable judgment may include damages, including loss of profit (art. 127 ter.6 LJCA). It is the best possible return on a fee of 490 euros.
  • It is FREE and fast: no tasa, report in around 10 days.
