Antitrust Grand Jury Procedure, Carl Steinhouse Jan 1974

Antitrust Grand Jury Procedure, Carl Steinhouse

Cleveland State Law Review

The typical grand jury antitrust investigation is a laborious process which takes from a minimum of six months to as much as several years to complete. Accordingly, it is an expensive and time consuming process not only to the grand jurors and the government, but also to corporations and other persons under investigation, and the courts. For this reason, antitrust grand jury investigations are not lightly undertaken, and they require specific authorization by the Assistant Attorney General. The process from the inception of the investigation through the return of an indictment is somewhat involved and, in many aspects, unique to …


Motives Of Non-Profit Organizations And The Antitrust Laws, Frank J. Nawalanic Jan 1972

Motives Of Non-Profit Organizations And The Antitrust Laws, Frank J. Nawalanic

Cleveland State Law Review

Non-profit status has traditionally been delegated and regulated by state law. It is becoming increasingly clear that state law is expanding the types of organization allowed non-profit status, thus inviting more abuses of the status to exist. This is exemplified by New York's "Not-For-Profit Corporation Law" and recent indications by Pennsylvania and California legislators of their contemplation of enacting similar statutes. It is with this understanding that the applicability of the antitrust laws to non-profit corporations will be considered.


Meeting Competition In Good Faith, And The Premium Product, Arthur D. Austin Jan 1965

Meeting Competition In Good Faith, And The Premium Product, Arthur D. Austin

Cleveland State Law Review

The broad purpose of the Robinson-Patman Act is to prohibit sellers from granting price allowances, and other specified benefits which give competitive advantage to a purchaser and also discriminate against his competitors. It came into existence largely because the Clayton Act had proven ineffective in dealing with the chain store, which made sizeable capital investments "in facilities for performing bulk storage, redelivery, and financing, so as to 'integrate' the retailing and wholesaling functions... and to eliminate middleman profits by dealing with the manufacturer directly." The claims generated such concern among the independents that they demanded and obtained legislative relief. Whether …


Jurisdiction In International Application Of United States Antitrust Laws, Hiroshi Fukuda Jan 1963

Jurisdiction In International Application Of United States Antitrust Laws, Hiroshi Fukuda

Cleveland State Law Review

However, the trend to apply United States antitrust laws to international trade agreements has given rise to another important question, namely the jurisdictional problem of antitrust laws. Many people, both in this country and abroad, criticized this trend as an abuse of power and invasion of foreign sovereignty. The objective of this paper is, therefore, to analyze the underlying theories of jurisdiction with respect to antitrust laws and to discover the existing jurisdictional limitations imposed by the courts on themselves.


Hudson Fair Trade Case - The Need For Constitutional Amendment, Richard W. Pogue Jan 1963

Hudson Fair Trade Case - The Need For Constitutional Amendment, Richard W. Pogue

Cleveland State Law Review

The Hudson case has dual significance. First, it is important in its holding of a relatively new concept in fair trade legislation-the "notice" or "implied contract" doctrine under which resellers are deemed to have entered into a legislatively defined contract by accepting goods with notice of the fair trade price limitations. This concept, previously upheld in Virginia, finds its counterpart in the current Quality Stabilization Bills pending in Congress which would include provision for a federal right to enforce resale price maintenance against resellers of branded commodities who are given prior notice of price restrictions. A second respect in which …


Ball, Bat And Bar, Harold Seymore Jan 1957

Ball, Bat And Bar, Harold Seymore

Cleveland State Law Review

Most Americans assume that they live under one set of laws which govern everybody. They also think that while monopolies and their abuses were once a problem, regulatory measures have long since eliminated or controlled them. The business of organized baseball proves that both these assumptions are mistaken. Recent operations of some baseball "companies" have underscored the falsity of these assumptions. The baseball business operates under its own complicated body of private law, and has been doing so ever since the business got its real start with the formation of the National League in 1876. Organized baseball is also a …


The Analogous Development Of The Fair Trade And Tax Limitation Movements, Frank E. Packard Jan 1955

The Analogous Development Of The Fair Trade And Tax Limitation Movements, Frank E. Packard

Cleveland State Law Review

The Fair Trade Act, or resale price maintenance, movement began in 1913. The movement to limit federal income, gift, and estate tax rates to twenty-five per cent in peacetime commenced in 1939. The fair trade act movement was spearheaded by the American Fair Trade League. The federal income, gift, and estate tax rate limitation movement is spearheaded by the Western Tax Council.
