The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that antitrust immunity under the Noerr-Pennington doctrine, which protects statements made to governmental bodies, is not forfeited even when the defendant made false statements to harm a competitor and preserve its monopoly. The court refused to revive a Sherman Act suit brought by an outpatient surgery center's would-be owners who said their plans were thwarted when a local hospital tried to persuade officials to deny the company's ``certificate of need.''
