The Potential Impact of Twombly on Antitrust Class Actions

Wendy Bloom and James Langenfeld

Antitrust Chronicle, 2008, vol. 6

Abstract: Just over a year ago, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly which arguably changed the pleading standards required for all complaints filed in federal court. Twombly has particular relevance to antitrust class actions, however, because the complaint at issue in Twombly was an antitrust class action.
