| Date: | 06/18/07 |
| Case Number: | 05-1157 |
| Summary: | In a suit brought by a group of investors alleging that petitioners-investment banks, acting as underwriting firms, violated antitrust laws when they formed syndicates to help execute initial public offerings (IPOs) for hundreds of technology-related companies, a court of appeals' decision reversing dismissal of the complaints is reversed as federal securities law implicitly precludes the application of the antitrust laws to the conduct alleged in the case. |
