A Georgia federal court handed summary judgment to BSF client Delta Air Lines Inc. and AirTran Airways Inc. in long-running multidistrict litigation alleging that they colluded to institute a first-checked baggage fee, Law360 reports.
“Even when viewed in the light most favorable to plaintiffs, the evidence in this case simply does not permit a reasonable factfinder to infer the existence of a conspiracy,” according to a ruling by Judge Timothy Batten that was quoted by Law360.
The BSF team representing Delta includes Jim Denvir, Scott Gant, and Michael Mitchell.
