     “The much-argued and interesting case of Allen v Flood (1898) A.C. 1,  illustrates the general doctrine that, however harmful to others individual or combined action may be, if it is not unlawful, the damage or harm so inflicted does not constitute legal injury at common law.”  Wheelter-Stenzel Co. v National Window Glass Jobbers’ Asso. (CA3 NJ) 152 F 864. [2]
