Im not sure how civil RICO suits are handled after a RICO conviction, but they may be similar to the Sherman. And Clayton acts for treble damage civil actions. Thats an area yoi could also check.  JIM

Subject: statutory strict liability question

I'm seeking some assistance from the collective wisdom of the Academy on a
research issue.

I am looking for examples of federal civil statutes that impose strict
liability. I can think of two examples on my own:  (1) direct patent
infringement under the Patent Act of 1952 is a strict liability; (2)
 CERCLA imposes strict liability upon owners and operators for cleanup of
hazardous waste. (In both of those examples, the strict liability standard
is not explicit in the statutory language but that's okay -- close enough
for my purposes).

Is anyone aware of other examples of strict liability in federal civil
statutes? I've seen literature on strict liability in the criminal statute
context, but can't find much written in the civil statutory context.

Thanks!

Lynda
