Скачать или смотреть The Private Attorney General: Rotella v. Wood

Examines the judicial standards for determining when a plaintiff’s right to sue begins under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. The Supreme Court highlights that this framework was heavily influenced by the Clayton Act, particularly regarding how and when legal injuries are officially recognized. Both statutes are designed to incentivize private citizens to act as independent enforcers of the law, effectively augmenting government resources through civil litigation. By filing these suits, individuals serve a dual purpose of seeking personal compensation and protecting the broader public interest. Consequently, the ruling emphasizes that the timing for filing a claim is rooted in the moment an injury occurs rather than when a full conspiracy is uncovered.
