Supreme Court weighs expanded reach of Clayton Act
The Supreme Court will hear three government appeals on extending the Clayton Antitrust Act beyond firms directly in interstate commerce. The government seeks to cover mergers affecting interstate commerce even if local, and also faces related cases including a Mississippi tax on liquor sold to military bases and a disability benefits delay ruling. The decision hinges on whether Benton Maintenance, a local janitorial firm, falls under interstate commerce in a merger with American Building Maintenance Industries.
