The Dragon In The Room: China's Anti-Monopoly Law And International Merger Review, Christopher Hamp-Lyons

Vanderbilt Law Review

In a world where mergers affect every corner of the planet, any government seeking competitive markets has an interest in ensuring that these mergers are not harmful to competition. As China, the world's most populous country, has committed to a market economy, it has now taken the momentous step of enacting its own Anti- Monopoly Law ("AML"). This effects a dramatic change in the antitrust regulation of multinational mergers. In international antitrust, even subtle legal differences between jurisdictions create significant potential for conflict. For this reason, the advent of antitrust merger review by a country with such massive international economic …

EEC Anti-Trust Law--Principles and Practice

Joint Business Ventures In The Central American Common Market, Michael W. Gordon

Vanderbilt Law Review

The European Economic Community's Treaty of Rome was referred to by Paul Monet as the first great anti-trust law in Europe. This view is undoubtedly predicated on the belief that the Treaty of Rome would break up the large cartels existing in the individual European nations by providing relatively uninhibited competition from other nations. However, this has not proved true since many of the old cartels remain strong. Conversely, other individuals expressed concern about the proposed EEC and feared that giant European cartels might develop. These concerns equally proved to be erroneous. With respect to the CACM, at least one …

Monopoly Profits, Economic Impossibility, And Unfairness As Anti-Trust Tests, Philip Marcus

Vanderbilt Law Review

One must agree with the district court's observation that the mere fact that one opens a business in an area with the idea that he will succeed and an existing-perhaps poorly run-business will have to withdraw and leave him alone in the field is hardly a situation which the Sherman Act is intended to reach. The Sherman Act does not protect one from competition, least of all a monopolist, which the Gazette admittedly was. And this is true even though the competition is likely to result in a monopoly. But there are limits upon the methods which one can use …

The Cement Decision And Basing-Point Pricing Systems, Clyde L. Ball

Vanderbilt Law Review

The period since the end of World War II has been marked by a tremendous volume of litigation arising under the federal anti-trust statutes. One of the Government's principal attacks has been aimed at the basing-point system of pricing which has been employed in many basic industries. This attack marked no new departure on the part of the Government; the Federal Trade Commission has consistently opposed the system, and the courts have repeatedly been called upon to review Commission orders aimed at some feature of the basing-point system.

Until recently the system had successfully withstood these attacks. It had weathered …
