Reversing the district court’s summary judgment ruling, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit decided that a jury could reasonably find that publication paper makers conspired to fix prices. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that ATM customers lacked standing to challenge inter-bank fees because they were indirect purchasers and did not pay the allegedly fixed fees.
