RE: Restraint of Trade?
The clarification, however, seemed to me to say that if you are asking companies to lower their prices -- with everything else being equal -- that is illegal. I don't think that is what consortia are doing. Typically we are saying what is the price if X new volume of business for Y period of time is delivered to you. This isn't illegal. Anthony W.
