Tennessee Antitrust Laws – Business Law
Tennessee antitrust laws are set forth under Chapter 25 of Title 47 in The Tennessee Code Annotated. Tenn. Code Ann. § 47-25-106 permits private action. Under Tenn. Code Ann. § 47-25-103 the Attorney General has the authority to bring a criminal action against the violators of the antitrust laws. Attorney fees are not addressed in the code. The code does not specify the period of limitation. Some provisions of the law are stated below:
Tenn. Code Ann. § 47-25-106 reads:
“47-25-106. Recovery of consideration as remedy for damages.
