Agri Stats' motion for summary judgment in US DOJ information-sharing suit denied

( February 24, 2026, 20:31 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: Agri Stats' motion for summary judgment in a US Department of Justice antitrust lawsuit over illegal information sharing was denied by a US federal judge who ruled the case ought to head to trial as "numerous fact issues remain." In an order, US District Judge John Tunheim said the court finds that there remain numerous issues of material fact regarding whether Agri Stats’ contracts with its customers — plaintiffs’ challenged restraint — had a substantial anticompetitive effect that harmed consumers in the relevant markets.
