Attorneys general weigh in on Oregon antitrust case

The attorneys general from eight states, including Oregon, submitted a joint brief to the U. S.  Supreme Court in an antitrust case that originated in Oregon and is set to be heard by the high court next month.  In that case, Weyerhaeuser Corp. was found liable for engaging in an illegal buyer-side monopoly in the purchase of alder logs.  The Oregonian reported that the states' brief opposes the argument by both Weyerhaeuser Corp. and the U.S. Department of Justice that the trial court's test for predatory bidding was too subjective and vague.  The Oregon Business Litigation blog's previous coverage of the case can be found here.
