Private plaintiff wins merger trial: The Tipline for 16 February 2018

It’s Friday and we are all over the Capital region today. We are especially excited for the 22nd annual antitrust symposium at George Mason University, which promises to dissect “hipster antitrust” alongside the time-honoured consumer welfare standard. We are also covering what is expected to be the penultimate pretrial hearing before the Department of Justice puts the AT&T/Time Warner merger on trial. If you are free for lunch, catch us at the unveiling of the Congressional Antitrust Caucus on the Hill at noon. And if you’re in Paris, come see Makan Delrahim and a host of other enforcers wrap up the American Bar Association’s cartels workshop.
