Denial Of Standing To Private,Noncommercial Consumers Under Section 4 Of The Clayton Act, David L. O'Daniel

Vanderbilt Law Review

The Sherman Act and the Clayton Act are efforts by Congress to promote a free and competitive economy and to compensate those injured by anticompetitive activities. To supplement government enforcement, section 7 of the Sherman Act provided a means of combating antitrust violations through private treble damage actions. Section 4 of the Clayton Act, which superseded section 7 of the Sherman Act with only slight modification, provides for treble damage actions by "any person who shall be injured in his business or property by reason of anything forbidden in the antitrust laws"....

In light of the uncertainty regarding private consumer …

The Antitrust Penalties: A Study in Law and Economics By Kenneth G. Elzinga and William Breit

Reviewed by George A. Hay

The Antitrust Penalties was published in 1976. Its main mes-sage is that the only efficient antitrust penalty is a heavy fine and that incarceration comes out poorly by any benefit-cost standard.Later that year, in a celebrated and possibly unprecedented appearance, newly appointed Assistant Attorney General Donald I. Baker argued before a federal district judge that jail sentences were the appropriate penalty for a group of defendants who had just been convicted in one of the major price-fixing …

The Contemporary Antitrust Regulation Of Joint Ventures In The European Economic Community, Stephen O. Spinks

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The joint venture is a form of organization widely used in international business. Although anticompetitive effects of mergers, interlocking directorates, and cartels are more frequently the targets of enforcement efforts under antitrust laws than joint ventures, the latter can be equally effective in reducing competition in the market place.

The legal status of joint ventures in various jurisdictions has remained a subject of some confusion possibly because of their hybrid nature--not quite cartels, yet not quite mergers. This confusion still exists to some extent in the United States, despite the fact that the Supreme Court has held that section 7 …

United States V. Bechtel Corporation: Antitrust And The Arab Blacklist, James H. Longstreet

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

In January 1977, the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department and the Bechtel Corporation entered a proposed final settlement of the antitrust suit filed by the United States one year earlier. The complaint had charged that Bechtel, one of the world's largest construction firms, and four of its affiliates, had implemented the Arab League boycott of Israel and of "pro-Israeli" domestic firms. This settlement of the Antitrust Division's first attack on the thirty-year-old Arab boycott has resulted in a consent accord which outlines a permissible course of conduct for United States firms seeking trade with the Arab world, but leaves …
