Antitrust injury
Contents
Place in the Framework
Antitrust injury requires a private plaintiff to show injury of the type the antitrust laws were intended to prevent and that flows from the challenged conduct's anticompetitive aspect.
Core Questions
- Is the plaintiff's injury tied to harm to competition?
- Does the injury flow from the anticompetitive effect of the violation?
- Is the plaintiff seeking recovery for a competitive injury or merely a business loss?
