SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 26 – A number of
antitrust cases against Google
have been transferred to and
consolidated before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge P. Kevin Castel. On
September 24 he held a
conference, and Inner City
Press covered it.
Judge
Castel said, among other
things, that he would first
address the state case, and
see if there is Federal
jurisdiction.
The question of
whether there is harm to
competitors will not be
addressed at this
time.
Counsel for
Associated Newspapers has also
represented Facebook, against
which the same claims could
and may be brought - so
counsel has been asked to
explain by October 1 how this
is not a conflict and "why it
should be permitted to attend
meetings of the Plaintiffs
Coordinating Committee." There
will be a protective order, or
orders.
One case is
Associated Newspapers Ltd. et
al v. Google LLC et al.,
21-cv-3446 (Castel)
