The judge may, after hearing the parties’ observations, request the Competition Authority to provide guidance on the assessment of the loss for which compensation is sought.

The Competition Authority has two months to communicate its observations to the judge. If no response is received within this period, the proceedings are continued at the initiative of the parties or at the behest of the judge.
