Beyond Brooke Group: Bringing Reality to the Law of Predatory Pricing

Hemphill, C. Scott
Weiser, Philip J.
Abstract
This Feature offers a roadmap for bringing and deciding predatory pricing cases under the Supreme Court's restrictive Brooke Group decision. Brooke Group requires a plaintiff to show that the defendant set a price below cost and had a sufficient likelihood of recouping its investment in predation. This framework, which was adopted without any contested presentation of its merits, has endured despite its flaws. Beyond this framework, the Court opined in dicta that predation is implausible.
