Description

Indirect Purchaser Litigation Handbook 2nd Edition ISBN 9781634254526

In 1977, the U.S. Supreme Court held in Illinois Brick that “indirect purchasers”—those who do not buy directly from alleged coconspirators—may not bring claims under federal antitrust law. This handbook explains the legal framework governing indirect purchaser claims and examines the issues that most commonly arise in indirect purchaser litigation.

The book opens with a detailed analysis of the Illinois Brick decision, followed by a discussion of the federal, state, and academic responses to that ruling. It then explores questions of liability and standing, along with the procedural dimensions of indirect purchaser cases, including jurisdiction, discovery, case management, and class certification. The handbook also addresses the financial components of these cases, such as damages and settlements. Finally, it looks north to Canada’s experience with indirect purchaser claims, highlighting key differences and potential lessons.

Rather than advocating a position on whether Illinois Brick was correctly decided or whether the benefits of indirect purchaser litigation outweigh its costs, this handbook serves as a practical guide for practitioners and courts operating within the current legal landscape. It also surveys how various states have responded over the past two decades to the Supreme Court’s Illinois Brick decision.
