Try as they might to swat away claims that leading heavy truck transmission manufacturer Eaton Corporation conspired with truck makers to thwart competition, Eaton and its lawyers at Baker Botts and Morris Nichols, Arsht & Tunnel are still facing a three-pronged antitrust assault.

Even after United emerged from Chapter 11 in 2006, the value of its terminal space in Los Angeles remained an issue.
