Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This note analyses the judgment of the House of Lords in the case Norris v USA, and argues that its ruling on whether mere price-fixing can amount to a common law conspiracy to defraud will have a significant effect on both US and UK criminal anti-cartel enforcement. In particular, the potential negative impact of the judgment on the future viability of the UK Cartel Offence is highlighted.
