Abstract
The article addresses issues related to the relevant role played by CADE's Administrative Court in the formal and material control of antitrust leniency agreements, based on the content of the effectiveness of the collaboration and the useful result of the process. Part of the definition of a leniency agreement, it identifies its phases and points out the characteristics of CADE's Antitrust Leniency Program. It points out that the perspective of a leniency program based on the fair granting of premium benefits by the State is conditioned to the fulfillment of obligations assumed by the signatory, without, however, neglecting the legal results indicated by the standard, having as its center the idea of effectiveness and usefulness of collaboration, based on objective legal criteria. In this scenario, a parallel is drawn with the award-winning collaboration agreement, whose Brazilian experience is advanced in the Judiciary, including the Superior Courts. It addresses the exclusive competence of the Administrative Court of CADE in analyzing the declaration of compliance or non-compliance with leniency agreements and the control of their effectiveness. Finally, it analyzes the consequences and effects of non-compliance with the leniency agreement by the signatory in the event of lack of cooperation and mentions important judgments handed down by the Administrative Court of CADE.
