Subject: American Antitrust Institute sues U.S.,
Microsoft re Tunney Act disclosures
The American Antitrust Institute has filed a suit for declaratory and
injunctive relief for failure of the Department of Justice and Microsoft
to fully comply with the disclosure requirements of the Tunney Act in
regard to the Microsoft settlement. The suit was filed this morning
(Thursday) and was assigned to the same judge who is handling the
Microsoft case.This is now posted, along with a press release summarizing
the complaint, at www.antitrustinstitute.org.
We have also posted our 47-page comments on the Microsoft settlement under
the Tunney Act.
Recently we posted information about two new Advisory Board members,
Patricia Connors and Douglas Rosenthal. Trish is the antitrust chief in
Florida and head of the NAAG Multistate Antitrust Task Force. Doug is
former head of the Foreign Commerce Section of the DOJ and a partner in
Sonnenschein, Naff, and Rosenthal. It is worth reiterating that Advisory
Board members do not vote on substantive positions of the AAI. The
Advisory Board is quite diverse in makeup and there is no implication that
all members agree with positions AAI takes. In many situations, an
Advisory Member recuses himself or herself from the informal consultation
process that typically occurs.
