Third Circuit Finds Antitrust Standing Based on Inextricably Intertwined Injuries | Practical Law
The US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit found that Hanover 3201 Realty, LLC had standing to sue Village Supermarkets, Inc. (ShopRite) under Section 2 of the Sherman Act for attempted monopolization of the market for full-service supermarkets in Morristown, NJ, despite not being a competitor or consumer in that market. The Third Circuit also found that ShopRite could not claim Noerr-Pennington immunity because ShopRite had a policy of filing anticompetitive sham petitions.
