# Kelley Drye Wins Class Action Price-Fixing Trial in Alaska

 May 30, 2003

 

 

 

 

 

 

In a successful climax to five years of litigation, Kelley Drye won an impressive trial victory on behalf of an established Japan-based trading company. The company was one of eight co-defendants in this class-action antitrust suit that fought the case through the four month trial, which began in Anchorage, Alaska earlier this year. The jury deliberated for just five hours before returning a unanimous verdict in favor of all defendants.

The plaintiffs had alleged that the company was one of over a dozen salmon processing and importing companies that had conspired to lower the prices paid to Bristol Bay fishermen for ​“raw” salmon they caught between 1989 and 1995. The defendants countered by arguing that burgeoning supply and shrinking demand, including increased reliance on farm-raised salmon, caused fish prices to decline at all levels and in markets around the world. The jury agreed, finding in favor of the defendants.
