American anti-trust laws can only be applied when the court has subject-matter jurisdiction, meaning the court must have the authority to hear the type of case being presented. This is because anti-trust laws are a part of federal law and can only be enforced by federal courts with proper jurisdiction. Personal jurisdiction and the long arm statute are related to whether the court has the authority to hear a case based on the location of the defendant, but they do not affect subject-matter jurisdiction. Treble damages (charges) can be awarded in both government and private suits under anti-trust laws.
