Are Unfair Methods Of Competition Actionable At The Suit Of A Competitor?, Grover C. Grismore Jan 1935

Are Unfair Methods Of Competition Actionable At The Suit Of A Competitor?, Grover C. Grismore

Michigan Law Review

The steps which have recently been taken, both through federal and state legislation, to regulate trade practices by outlawing what have been denominated "unfair methods of competition" have brought to the fore a problem that has vexed lawyers and legal writers for a long time.

Contrary to what has always been the practice in drafting so-called "anti-trust" laws, the legislation dealing with …

The invasion of this right must, as the cases now stand, be an intentional invasion, although there seems to be no reason for excluding negligent invasions subject to the usual limits of foreseeability. The motives of the tort-feasor, suggested by …

Bills And Notes-Bonds Payable At Office Of Trustee Which Becomes Insolvent After Deposit According To Agreement But Before Bonds Presented, Ralph W. Aigler
