- Twombly: The Demise of Notice Pleading, the Triumph of Milton Handler, and the Uncertain Future of Private Antitrust Enforcement
Twombly, a consumer of local phone and high speed internet services, brought a putative class action against the ILECs alleging that the ILECs (1) had conspired to inhibit the growth of rival local service providers in their respective territories by, among other things, overbilling, limiting their rivals' access to their networks, and sabotaging rivals' relationships with their customers; and (2) had agreed among themselves not to compete with each other in their respective service areas.14 But the complaint was devoid of any specific factual allegations of conspiracy.15 Rather, the complaint simply alleged a parallel course of conduct by the defendants, and characterized this conduct as a conspiracy in violation of § 1 of the Sherman Act.16 Defendants moved to dismiss the complaint fo...

- Consumers Can Sue Drug Firm Under State Antitrust Law, Rules Wisconsin Supreme Court
Consumers could sue an international drug firm under state antitrust law for allegedly conspiring with generic drug manufacturers to charge customers inflated prices for an antibiotic because the statute doesn't apply only to distinctly intrastate conduct, the Wisconsin Supreme Court has ruled in reversing a dismissal. The state antitrust act provides that "[e]very contract, combination in the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce is illegal." The act authorizes the recovery of treble damages for "any person directly or indirectly injured by such a practice." The state supreme court previously decided that the act applies to interstate conduct "if the conduct 'substantially affects' the people of Wisconsin and has 'impacts' in this state.
