LAD #27Clayton Anti-Trust Act

Section 2: This part of the act says that it is against the law to drive the price down in order to create a monopoly. The price should be based on quality, quantity, method of transportation, or to meet the competition. Also, the customers must not be restrained of trade.


Section 3: The companies/corporations can not own parts of the trade such as the transportation or waterways, and also the companies cannot have a fixed price that helps other businesses unlawfully.  In addition, they cannot have contract to lessen the competition.


Section 7: Corporations cannot own the majority of the stock (directly or indirectly) of other corporations in order to try to eliminate the competition.
