Hotels' move to dismiss third amended US complaint should be denied, plaintiff says

( July 28, 2025, 23:31 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: A hotel guest argued to an Illinois federal judge that luxury hotels' motion to dismiss his third amended US antitrust complaint should be denied.

"This Court previously dismissed Plaintiff Ryan Segal’s Second Amended Complaint because it believed that Segal asserted, in its words, 'two contradictory theories': that (1) Demand360 enables hotels to raise rates for a given night if they learn through the platform that their competitors are fully booked; and (2) that Defendants’ use of Demand360 caused hotel prices to rise overall even as demand fell," Segal wrote in a memorandum of law in opposition to the defendants' motion-to-dismiss. Segal argued that his third amended complaint "explains why these phenomena are not contradictory."See document. ...
