(8) TELEFONICA EUROPE PLC Defendants PARTICULARS OF CLAIM A. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY Introduction 1. The Claimant (“P4U”) claims in respect of the Defendants’ collusive and/or anti- competitive conduct and/or breach of contract that caused loss and forced it into administration. The Defendants’ unlawful conduct caused P4U, one of the UK’s leading and last independent mobile phone retailers, to cease trading in September 2014. 2. It is inherent to the secretive nature of the Defendants’ unlawful conduct (as particularised herein) that P4U has incomplete information as to the precise content and timing of the unlawful agreements, understandings, concerted practices and instructions that it alleges. P4U relies on inferences that it contends should be drawn from the pleaded primary facts. P4U anticipates providing further and better particulars following disclosure. 06267-00001/10599764.1 1 3. In summary, P4U’s case is as follows: (a) P4U had a successful and profitable business selling the Defendants’ mobile network connections (“Connections”) as an independent retail intermediary. P4U was one of two main independent retail intermediaries for the supply and/or distribution of Connections in the UK. The other was Carphone Warehouse Limited (“CPW”). (b) P4U was particularly successful in selling Connections to young adults (customers aged between 16 and 25 years).
