Conspiracy Allegations In The Stock Loan Market: Why Plaintiffs Should Be Seeking A Remedy In Congress And Not In Court, Danielle P. Katz Dec 2019

Conspiracy Allegations In The Stock Loan Market: Why Plaintiffs Should Be Seeking A Remedy In Congress And Not In Court, Danielle P. Katz

Et Cetera

This Article first provides a comprehensive analysis of conspiracy allegations in over-the-counter markets, focusing on the stock loan market as an exemplar.

Multiple conspiracy claims, implicating antitrust law, have been brought regarding over the counter markets since the financial crisis of 2008. The biggest banks in the country have been the center of novel complaints, new regulations, and innovative legislation in the recent years. But, despite regulation and legislation, Sherman Act litigation alleging conspiracy has endured as plaintiffs claim that big banks are conspiring to fix markets when, in fact, they are exercising economies of scale to provide unique, tailored …


The New Road To Serfdom: The Curse Of Bigness And The Failure Of Antitrust, Carl T. Bogus Dec 2015

The New Road To Serfdom: The Curse Of Bigness And The Failure Of Antitrust, Carl T. Bogus

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This Article argues for a paradigm shift in modern antitrust policy. Rather than being concerned exclusively with consumer welfare, antitrust law should also be concerned with consolidated corporate power. Regulators and courts should consider the social and political, as well as the economic, consequences of corporate mergers. The vision that antitrust must be a key tool for limiting consolidated corporate power has a venerable legacy, extending back to the origins of antitrust law in early seventeenth century England, running throughout American history, and influencing the enactment of U.S. antitrust laws. However, the Chicago School’s view that antitrust law should be …

Quality Of Care And Market Failure Defenses In Antitrust Health Care Litigation, Thomas L. Greaney Jan 1989

Quality Of Care And Market Failure Defenses In Antitrust Health Care Litigation, Thomas L. Greaney

All Faculty Scholarship

This article considers quality-based justifications for antitrust challenges to collaboration among health care professionals. It first examines doctrinal developments resisting such justifications and, with a skeptical eye, analyzes attempts to interject quality of care and worthy motive defenses into antitrust appraisals of horizontal restraints of trade. Next the article assesses the economic basis and the risks and benefits of a market failure defense that would allow some quality-enhancing restraints of trade to escape antitrust challenge. Its principle recommendation is that courts recognize a narrow, market failure defense subject to several limiting principles to cabin its reach. The article concludes by …


Bank Mergers: Agency Review And The Changing Line Of Commerce, Tommy Leung Jan 1983

Bank Mergers: Agency Review And The Changing Line Of Commerce, Tommy Leung

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Conflicting criteria put forth by Congress and the Justice Department have caused confusion among the bank regulatory agencies and within the banking idustry with respect to two important issues: (1) whether the antitrust laws should be applied to bank mergers within the vacuum of Justice Department analysis or whether there should be a greater emphasis on agency participation in reviewing proposed mergers, and (2) whether commercial banking should continue as the relevant line of commerce when antitrust standards are applied.
