There is no such thing as a “simple” competition claim – particularly those not preceded by a regulatory investigation (colloquially referred to as “standalone” cases). The need to establish economic harm in addition to the legal infringement alone differentiates such encounters from the norms in civil litigation. And they are never cheap for those reasons, although they can be engineered to be inexpensive for the claimant via conditional fee arrangements, litigation funding, etc.
