The Dominican government has hired a Washington lawyer to attempt to open settlement talks with the company, AES Corp., or failing that, to file a lawsuit in U.S. courts against AES [ article]
ClaveDigital has an angle on it.
I believe this person to be the Bart Fisher extensively quoted in the article....
...among Bart Fisher's many cited, published works, this one jumps out;
“The Antidumping Law of the United States: An Economic and Legal Analysis,” 5 Law and Policy in International Business (November, 1973)

Bart Fisher is a trade lawyer well known in Washington circles for decades, primarily for some of his international lobbying efforts, successful or not (and yes, there have been some of the latter).
BTW, aegap, the law in the "published work" you refer to is not about dumping materials, substances or wastes, but rather is about importing goods at below-market prices. "Antidumping" in international trade circles refers to measures to counter what the competition lawyers like to refer to as "predatory pricing." So it has no relation whatsoever to this case or this thread...
