In particular, in a complicated 161 page memorandum of decision, she argued that U.S. antitrust law does not apply. She said that since the LIBOR-setting process was never meant to be competitive, the suppression of that process was not anti-competitive. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Naomi Reice Buchwald」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
