Football Unlimited, a British seller of tickets to overseas sports games, enters into a price fixing agreement with World Cup Sports, the exclusive U.S. vendor of Football's tickets. A U.S. court is most likely to apply U.S. antitrust laws to this agreement

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The U.S. court is most likely to apply U.S. antitrust laws to the price fixing agreement between Football Unlimited and World Cup Sports if the agreement has a substantial effect on U.S. commerce. This is because U.S. antitrust laws apply extraterritorially to conduct that has a direct, substantial, and reasonably foreseeable effect on U.S. domestic or import commerce. Therefore, if the price fixing agreement affects the U.S. market for sports tickets, the U.S. court will apply U.S. antitrust laws to the agreement.
