Abstract

The United States Supreme Court held that McCarran-Ferguson immunity did not attach for domestic insurance companies acting with foreign insurance companies based on activity-based analysis of the "business of insurance," but that such activity may have amounted to a "boycott."

INTERNATIONAL LAW-EXTRATERRITORIAL APPLICATION OF THE SHERMAN ACT-The United States Supreme Court held that the Sherman Act regulates foreign conduct in the absence of a "true conflict" with foreign law.
