Judgment_paragraph 83 · Sony Corporation and Sony Electronics, Inc v European Commission (C-697/19 P)

83Secondly, as follows from paragraphs 62 to 64 and 67 of this judgment, it cannot be deduced from the fact that the Commission legally characterised a complex of practices as a single and continuous infringement that each of those practices in itself and taken in isolation must necessarily be characterised as a separate infringement. If the Commission decides to characterise the forms of conduct at issue as separate infringements and to impute them to the appellants, it must also examine them individually and prove their unlawful nature as well as the involvement of the appellants in each of those forms of conduct.
