“No More No-Poach”: An Antitrust Plaintiff’S Guide, Amanda Triplett
Washington and Lee Journal of Civil Rights and Social Justice
It may seem that agreements between employers not to hire or solicit employees from each other would be illegal under the Sherman Act’s prohibition of conspiracies to fix prices or allocate markets. However, the complexity of this issue pushes the boundaries of antitrust law. But the core principals of antitrust law are tailored to reject them. In a market of employers, where firms are competitors, no-poach restraints have horizontal elements subject to a harsher standard of antitrust review. Firms that enter into these arrangements bypass legal methods to protect against the harms of employee loss, such as a non-compete agreement. …

Investment Into Very High Capacity Networks, Andrzej Nałęcz
internetowy Kwartalnik Antymonopolowy i Regulacyjny (internet Quarterly on Antitrust and Regulation)
Based on existing scholarly literature, the article evaluates the regulation of investment into very high capacity networks in the European Electronic Communications Code. Both the reduction of asymmetric regulation and the potential increase of symmetric regulation may negatively refl ect on the quality and accessibility of retail electronic communications services. The implementation of the EECC in Polish law must, therefore, be informed and studious, but it does not require the replacement of the current Law on Telecommunications Act by a completely new Act. However, an update is necessary, and the article proposes amendments.

The defi nition of an electronic communications service determines the scope of the application of the European Electronic Communications Code. Thus, it defi nes the permissible activity of the Polish Offi ce of Electronic Communications and the rights and obligations of market participants. Despite the clear expectations of both doctrine and case-law, the new defi nition does not meet the expectations. Simultaneous maintenance of the technological criterion (signal transmission) with the introduction of the functional criterion (interpersonal communication service) deepens the interpretation diffi culties. Therefore, it is not a revolutionary measure which was supposed to ensure the achievement of the …
