Settledness

As of
Open questions
  • Does "price fixing using algorithmic pricing" under Hoboken Code section 158-2(A) reach a landlord that uses software drawing on nonpublic information from only one other real estate lessor?
  • Does information that "is not widely and readily available to the public at no cost" under Hoboken Code section 158-2(A) include market data that a vendor sells to every landlord that pays its subscription fee?

What it makes you log

Logging duty
