Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 04.08.03
A unanimous U.S. Supreme Court ruled on April 7, 2003 that racketeering claims against UnitedHealth Group Inc. and PacifiCare Health Systems Inc. can be submitted to arbitration. The Court ruled that concerns about the availability of punitive damages in arbitration did not prevent enforcement of the arbitration provisions of the plaintiffs' contracts with the health plans.

California Assembly Passes AB 1776, Sending Major Antitrust Bill to the Senate
California’s COMPETE Act (AB 1776) narrowly passed the California State Assembly by three votes on Wednesday and now moves to the California State Senate. The bill — introduced in March by Assembly Majority Leader Cecilia Aguiar-Curry — is modeled closely on draft legislation recommended by the California Law Revision Commission in September. AB 1776 would not only significantly expand potential liability for single-firm conduct and monopolization but, based on recent amendments, would also explicitly decouple California antitrust analysis from certain federal standards. Crowell & Moring is representing the California Chamber of Commerce (CalChamber) in monitoring, analyzing, and responding to AB 1776.
