Competition law is the field of law that promotes or seeks to maintain market competition by regulating anti-competitive conduct by companies.PrincipleModern competition lawTheoryPractice
Are non-competes legal?
Even states that allow some non-competes have enacted broader restrictions. As of now, more than 20 states bar several categories of non-competes, such as:
laws that ban all no-poach agreements and all traditional non-competes with employees who earn less than $100
000 annually.
Do non-competes violate antitrust law?
Recently, however, more antitrust claims have targeted traditional non-competes, i.e., those between employers and employees. Earlier this year, the FTC issued complaints against three employers, alleging that they violated antitrust law via non-competes with hourly employees.
Which states have banned Noncompete agreements?
California, Oklahoma and North Dakota have banned noncompete agreements and about a dozen other states have passed laws limiting their use. Business groups have said noncompetes are a crucial way for companies to protect trade secrets and that they promote competitiveness.
Order issued by the United States government in March 2017
The 2017 electronics ban was an order issued by the United States government in March 2017 banning electronics beyond the size of a mobile phone on carry-on luggage for direct flights departing from 10 major airports in the Middle East and traveling to the United States, and requiring airlines to enforce this ban. The order was issued based on intelligence that the Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula was planning on using batteries and compartments of large electronic equipment to conceal explosives that are not detectable by current aviation security scanners. The US government has been accused by the International Air Transport Association of implementing the ban more of as a protectionist measure to shield major US airlines from increasing competition of major airlines from the Middle East than for security reasons. The United Kingdom has issued a similar ban but covers a different range of airports and airlines, including low-cost airlines. US officials lifted the ban in July 2017, citing improved airport security.

List of cricketers
In cricket, match fixing occurs as a match is played to a completely or partially pre-determined result, violating the rules of the game and often the law. In particular, players have been approached by bookmakers and bribed to throw matches or aspects of matches, or provide other essential information. Fixing has happened in both international - including Test matches and One Day Internationals - and domestic cricket. The ban is issued by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the sport's governing body, or by the respective cricket board(s) to which the player belongs. A ban may be for match fixing or spot-fixing. Both are misdemeanours banned under the ICC Cricket Code of Conduct.
Smoking bans are public policies
Smoking bans are public policies, including criminal laws and occupational safety and health regulations, which prohibit tobacco smoking in certain spaces. Laws pertaining to where people may smoke vary around the world. China and the United States, two out of five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, do not have a nationwide smoking ban covering all public indoor areas, while the remaining three members, France, Russia, and the United Kingdom, all have national laws prohibiting smoking in many indoor spaces.
