Engrossing, forestalling and regrating were marketing offences in English, Welsh and Irish common law. The terms were used to describe unacceptable methods of influencing the market, sometimes by creating a local monopoly for a certain good, usually food. The terms were often used together, and with overlapping meanings. They became obsolete in 1844. Blackstone's Commentaries described them as offences against public trade: Blackstone described a monopoly as "the same offence in other branches of trade", i.e., not food.

  • Engrossing, forestalling and regrating were marketing offences in English, Welsh and Irish common law. The terms were used to describe unacceptable methods of influencing the market, sometimes by creating a local monopoly for a certain good, usually food. The terms were often used together, and with overlapping meanings. They became obsolete in 1844. Blackstone's Commentaries described them as offences against public trade: forestalling—the buying or contracting for any merchandise or victual coming in the way of the market; or dissuading persons from bringing their goods or provisions there; or persuading them to enhance the price, when there; any of which practices make the market dearer to the fair trader. regrating—the buying of corn or other dead victual, in any market, and selling it again at the same market, or within four miles of the place. For this also enhances the prices of the provisions, as every successive seller must have a successive profit. engrossing—the getting into one's possession, or buying up, large quantities of corn, or other dead victuals, with intent to sell them again. This must of course be injurious to the public, by putting it in the power of one or two rich men to raise the price of provisions at their own discretion. Blackstone described a monopoly as "the same offence in other branches of trade", i.e., not food. (en)
  • L'accaparramento è l'acquisto di materie prime, semilavorati e beni finiti non disponibili sul mercato allo scopo di rivenderli a un prezzo fortemente maggiorato. Solitamente un operatore tratta il maggior numero di pezzi in un arco temporale per quanto possibile ristretto, in modo che in pochi si accorgano di quanto sta avvenendo.Si tratta di un comportamento considerato reato in tempo di guerra o grave crisi economica.Si differenzia dall'incetta in quanto quest'ultima riguarda un prodotto già ampiamente reperibile sul mercato.
