Agriculture your username 5 days ago The Third Circuit ruled on Monday in an antitrust lawsuit regarding processed egg pricing that the jury was properly instructed, affirming the decision from the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The Order called its opinion “another chapter in the long-running dispute,” which began in 2008 with a complaint filed by grocery companies including The Kroger Co., Safeway Inc., Walgreen Co., and Albertsons LLC. The plaintiffs claimed in that complaint that egg producers conspired and reduced production of eggs to artificially increase the price. In their brief after the appeal, the plaintiffs argued that the District Court improperly told the jury that all three elements in the conspiracy would need to be proven, when in actuality only one element would be a violation of the Sherman Act.
