Case Name
Home City Packaged Ice Antitrust Settlement
md-01952-PDB-RSW
United States District Court For The Eastern Region of Michigan
Case Summary
Plaintiffs claim that the Defendants violated the antitrust (and other) laws by conspiring to raise, fix, maintain, or stabilize the price of Packaged Ice and/or allocate markets and customers. Plaintiffs also claim that, as a result of the conspiracy, they and other indirect purchasers of Packaged Ice have had to pay more for Packaged Ice than they would have paid without this illegal conduct.
Defendants deny Plaintiffs’ claims. At this time, neither side has proven their claims or defenses in Court. The Court has not decided whether Plaintiffs’ claims are correct or whether Defendants have engaged in any wrongdoing. To avoid the cost and risk of further litigation and/or trial, the Plaintiffs and Home City have negotiated this settlement of the claims for the Settlement Classes against Home City only.
