The Second Circuit found an antitrust cause of action stated by a complaint grounded on an industry program to exchange wage and salary information. The First Circuit rejected an effort to enjoin enforcement of an arbitration award, stating that it was time to “lay to rest” the former doctrine that antitrust claims are not arbitrable. Other interesting antitrust cases reported recently include a district court ruling that circumstantial evidence of similarity of prices and behavior was insufficient to raise a triable issue as to conspiracy, and another case rejecting unexplainedly narrow definitions of the relevant antitrust markets.
