New(ish) Antitrust Book
The ABA is releasing a 2nd Edition of its “Business Torts and Unfair Competition Handbook.” According to the ABA:
This book first addresses substantive issues, beginning with the changing role of business torts in antitrust litigation and continuing with the extent to which antitrust concepts have been invoked in business tort litigation (focusing on the “competitive privilege” and the Noerr-Pennington defense). The next chapter surveys the field of unfair competition, followed by an examination of the business torts of commercial disparagement and defamation. Subsequent chapters address interference torts, the common law and statutory torts of fraud and negligent misrepresentation, the field of misappropriation of trade secrets, and recent developments in the area of punitive damages. The second half of the book covers procedural issues, beginning with the threshold issues of subject matter jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction, and venue. It continues with a discussion of additional practical issues that may impact the choice of forum and then explores the frequently-litigated matters of removal and remand. The volume concludes with an examination of the increasingly complex area of parallel and successive suits and issues that frequently arise in business tort cases under the Supremacy and Commerce Clauses of the United States Constitution.
