NEW YORK, March 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A landmark antitrust class action settlement has been reached between U.S. merchants and Visa Inc. ("Visa") and Mastercard Incorporated ("Mastercard") to resolve claims for injunctive relief in In re Payment Card Interchange Fee and Merchant Discount Antitrust Litigation. The settlement, which is among the largest in U.S. antitrust history, is subject to approval by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The class includes all merchants who accepted Visa or Mastercard debit or credit cards in the United States at any time during the period between December 18, 2020 and the date of entry of final judgment by the court. The class is represented by Steve Shadowen of Hilliard Shadowen LLP; Robert Eisler of Grant & Eisenhofer PA; Michael Freed of Freed Kanner London & Millen LLC; and Linda Nussbaum of Nussbaum Law Group, P.C.

Key Points:

The settlement eliminates anti-competitive restraints that will deliver U.S. merchants billions of near- and long-term savings.
Experts expect substantially greater additional savings as the agreed upon policy changes provide merchants of all sizes with new negotiating leverage against Visa and Mastercard.
Importantly, the settlement prohibits Visa and Mastercard from circumventing the injunctive relief, providing strong anti-circumvention provisions and independent verification and calculations on swipe fees.
The settlement stems from a 2005 lawsuit which alleged that merchants paid excessive fees to accept Visa and Mastercard credit cards, and that Visa and Mastercard and their member banks acted in violation of antitrust laws.

CHICAGO, March 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Yesterday, the Illinois Supreme Court issued a decision ruling in favor of project44 in its defamation lawsuit against competitor FourKites, concluding that emails sent to project44's Board of Directors and executives from fake Gmail accounts connected with FourKites were "published" and therefore could be pursued as defamation.

Key Points:

This case began in 2019 when "anonymous" emails were sent to project44 Board members and executives making unfounded allegations of outrageous conduct without any evidence.
The emails were tied to phone numbers listed for a FourKites corporate entity and its CEO, Matt Elenjickal.
The issue in the case was whether sending these emails to project44's Board and executives was sufficient "publication" under Illinois defamation law.
Following the judgment, the case will be remanded back to the trial court with the new legal precedent applied.
