Evans argues that all possible violations of the Anti-Trust Act could be divided into one of two categories: contracts in restraints of trade, and restrictions on competition. By dividing potential cases into these groups and applying different means of measurement, Evans claims one can discern more accurately which side of the legal line each case falls. Evans surmises that, in the case of contracts in restraint of trade, “applying the common law test of reasonableness” (Evans pg. 72) stands as the best means of measuring a contract’s legal validity. This changes when considering restraints on competition, in which Evans claims the “test of extent” (Evans, pg. 72) to be the most accurate means of testing legality. Evans defends his hypothesis by applying this procedure to all the Supreme Court cases between 1890 and 1910.
