In re Mercedes-Benz Anti-Trust Litigation
In this action alleging that defendant, a national auto distributor, its local dealers, and its accountant conspired to fix the prices of new cars sold or leased to consumers, applying Illinois Brick and subsequent cases, although plaintiff-lessees were not purchasers in the ordinary sense because they did not take title to the vehicles they possessed, their interaction with the dealers closely resembled that in a sales transaction and they are "direct purchasers" who have standing to sue.2006 Supplemental Report of the Supreme Court Civil Practice Committee
