Standing

Contents

Place in the Framework

Standing determines whether a plaintiff is an appropriate party to bring an antitrust claim.

Core Questions

  • Is the plaintiff a proper enforcer of the antitrust laws?
  • Is the injury direct or derivative?
  • Would recognizing standing create duplicative recovery or complex apportionment problems?
