Brennan v. Concord EFS, Inc.
Petition for certiorari denied on October 7, 2013
Issue: Whether a plaintiff who purchases directly from a
member of a price-fixing conspiracy is necessarily a “direct
purchaser” under Illinois Brick Co. v. Illinois(as the Third and
Seventh Circuits have held), or whether instead the
plaintiff must show that the conspirators agreed to set
the specific price the plaintiff paid and not merely that
the conspiracy inflated that price by anticompetitive
means (as the Ninth Circuit held below).
