Mergers In Regulated Industries: The Role Of The Regulatory Agency., C. Paul Rogers Iii

St. Mary's Law Journal

The merger of two or more independent business enterprises into a single business entity is the antithesis of the underlying policy in our economic system—the promotion of competition. However, regulatory agencies often face the major problem of applying antitrust provisions promoting freedom of competition in an industry where competition is restricted by law. It is commonly understood that if left unregulated private mergers of independent businesses tend to have anti-competitive impacts, i.e., the creation of monopolies.

Administrative Law--Federal Trade Commission Act--Restitution Held Improper in Section Five Cease and Desist Order

Richard C. Stark

Congress enacted section five'° of the Federal Trade Commission Act in 1914 to supplement" the antitrust provisions of the Sherman Act.'" The section declared unfair methods of competition illegal and placed the power to define and prohibit unfair methods in the hands of an independent regulatory commission, the FTC.'

When considered as an installment in the unfolding of Friedmann's views, based on his earlier writings, the conclusion to the book under review is to be cherished. When considered, on the other hand, solely in context of the contributed chapters of the same volume, the conclusion does not emerge as Friedmann at his most forceful or persuasive. To find the best of Friedmann, we need only sample his prolific contributions to the law reviews, whether on the United States involvement in the Vietnam conflict, the judgment of the International Court in the South West Africa cases, the risks to humanity …

Professional Activities And The Antitrust Laws, Joseph P. Bauer

Journal Articles

Few subjects in international law raise such incorrigible conflicts of interest as the exercise of extraterritorial jurisdiction in the antitrust context. As one commentator asked with respect to a U.S. court's assertion of jurisdiction over British defendants, "[h]ow could American law, how could an American judgment applying American law possibly vary the rights and obligations created by an English contract to be performed outside the United States?"
