The Sixth Circuit issued its opinion in the Online Merchants Guild v. Cameron case on April 29, 2021, dissolving a preliminary injunction that had prevented the Kentucky Attorney General from investigating alleged violations of Kentucky’s price gouging laws, and remanding to the district court for further proceedings. Last June, a Kentucky federal court had granted a preliminary injunction to the Online Merchants Guild, halting the AG’s investigations “into potentially excessive prices charged on Amazon’s online store.” The Online Merchants Guild argued that Kentucky’s enforcement of its price gouging laws violated the dormant Commerce clause for multiple reasons, including that they were impermissibly extraterritorial. According to the Online Merchants Guild, because their sales of goods in Amazon’s online marketplace were governed by Amazon’s own internal requirement that all goods in the Amazon marketplace be priced the same nationwide, by investigating violations of Kentucky’s price gouging laws, in effect, Kentucky was demanding that the vendors charge Kentucky-based pricing in all 50 states. The district court found that the Online Merchants Guild was “likely to succeed in showing that the practical effect of [the] Attorney General’s recent investigations into possible violations violates the dormant Commerce Clause.” The district court’s decision was based in large part on the determination that the impact of the application of the Kentucky price gouging laws on the Online Merchants Guild was impermissibly extraterritorial.
