COMMENT: ANTITRUST VIOLATIONS WITHOUT DAMAGE RECOVERIES.

In order to serve their dual functions of compensation and deterrence, private antitrust damages must be awarded with a full recognition of their relationship to the rationale for finding an antitrust violation. In this Comment, Professor Areeda analyses several situations in which this fundamental proposition may deny money damages despite a finding that the defendant violated the law. The recur circuit court decisions in the Treadway and Fortner cases are used as illustrations of the erroneous damage awards that can result from a failure to appreciate the relationship between damages and the substantive basis for liability.
