Antitrust Violations -- Determining Harm

Recovering damages in antitrust cases requires plaintiffs to demonstrate how a defendant's actions prejudiced the marketplace against a plaintiff's business. It is not enough to establish that the defendant's actions changed or affected the marketplace; rather, it must be shown that, but for the defendant's actions, the market would not have been affected in a prejudicial manner against the plaintiff's business. In cases involving price fixing, dumping, or monopolies, a plaintiff must establish that the consequences of a defendant's action resulted in market conditions that can only be legitimately understood as price fixing, dumping, or monopolization.
