RE: Sysco - Another Potential $6bn Payday for BUR8 Nov 2023 22:58
I asked the question stateside about The how and The why and The $6bn and The Sysco and was pointed towards the following..
Triple Damages -
Under federal antitrust law, persons and companies harmed by anticompetitive conduct may seek an award of triple their damages, an injunction, and costs of the action (including attorney fees) against a party that violates federal antitrust laws. For example, price fixing or an agreement among competitors on the price they will charge is considered a per se illegal violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C.S. § 1, that the government may prosecute as a felony. As a further deterrent to such activity, those harmed by the violation may seek treble damages and an injunction.
