**Affirmed position.** Hedge Fund Regulation through Competition Law Principles - Some Reflections should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Where jurisdictions are not compelled to agree on the same rule, some jurisdiction will try a different rule, and will do so more quickly, when changed economic circumstances make a different rule optimal. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through hedge fund regulation, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31

**Holds when.**

- where underlying economic circumstances change so that a different rule would be optimal
