Exploring If US & EU Antitrust Law Differences Are Substantive or Superficial by Re-Trying US Cases in the EU

Nicholas Passaro (Cornell University)

Abstract:      This article canvases several types of antitrust violations. It discusses the legal standards in both the US and EU, explains an illustrative case from each jurisdiction, discusses the differences in the law by comparing and contrasting the cases, and then retries the US case under EU law to see how those differences shape the outcome, if at all.
