This paper “๐๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ฝ๐ถ๐น๐ ๐บ๐ถ๐น๐ธ?” focuses on two last decisions regarding the so-called “๐ ๐ถ๐น๐ธ ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐น” which essentially resolved stand-alone and follow-on actions against some of the most relevant diary companies in the country. Interestingly, the two claims were dismissed for different reasons examined in the article.
