Antitrust News in Five Minutes

The British Office of Fair Trade reached a tentative settlement that restricts systematic pricing exchanges through online brokerage software. The settlement limits the ability of industry members to exchange current and future pricing information. This approach is clearly intended to cover information exchanges through any vehicle. This Special Report discusses the settlement and shows how the British approach is now closely aligned with the U.S. approach on pricing exchanges.

This memorandum is intended only as a general discussion of these issues. It is not considered to be legal advice. We would be pleased to provide additional details or advice about specific situations.
