Can a private antitrust lawsuit be filed in Egypt for price fixing by a dominant firm in the market?

In Egypt, competition infringements are primarily investigated by the Egyptian Competition Authority, but an affected business may also have the option to pursue a civil damages claim, depending on the circumstances. The correct legal qualification of the conduct (price fixing, exclusive dealing, or abuse of dominance) is key to determining the appropriate route. Importantly, a claimant is not expected to have all evidence at the outset; in many cases, evidence is identified and secured progressively through the chosen legal process. If you are facing actual commercial harm, a short initial assessment can clarify whether action is viable, which route is most effective, and what should be secured first before taking any formal step.
