Agri Stats motion for depositions in US antitrust suit should be denied, states say

( March 5, 2025, 21:50 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: Agri Stats’ motion to compel each plaintiff in a lawsuit brought by the US Department of Justice and a coalition of six states in an antitrust lawsuit alleging anticompetitive information sharing should be denied, the states told the District of Minnesota.
