U.S. Code as of: 01/19/04
Section 47. Reference of suits under antitrust statutes to Commission

      In any suit in equity brought by or under the direction of the
    Attorney General as provided in the antitrust Acts, the court may,
    upon the conclusion of the testimony therein, if it shall be then
    of opinion that the complainant is entitled to relief, refer said
    suit to the Commission, as a master in chancery, to ascertain and
    report an appropriate form of decree therein. The Commission shall
    proceed upon such notice to the parties and under such rules of
    procedure as the court may prescribe, and upon the coming in of
    such report such exceptions may be filed and such proceedings had
    in relation thereto as upon the report of a master in other equity
    causes, but the court may adopt or reject such report, in whole or
    in part, and enter such decree as the nature of the case may in its
    judgment require.
