The report authored by the IBA Legal Practice Division Task Force on Extraterritorial Jurisdiction is now available for purchase in the IBA shop, in book form, at a price of £25. The Task Force was formed to focus on two important questions:

• When should a state be able to regulate persons or conduct occurring outside its territory?
• How should overlaps or conflicts of jurisdiction between two or more states be resolved?

The report features a chapter dedicated to antitrust concerns in this context. The pdf version is available to download at no cost.
