In re: Rail Freight Fuel Surcharge Antitrust LitigationMDL Docket No.1869, U.S.D.C., District of the District of Columbia March 2009
Hausfeld LLP serves as Interim Co-Lead Counsel for a proposed class of shippers of freight on the major Class I railroads in the United States, alleging that the Defendants conspired to impose Rail Fuel Surcharges broadly on their customers, which allowed Defendants to reap tremendous supra-competitive profits. The alleged conspiracy potentially harmed shippers of freight across the country.
On November 7, 2008, the Honorable Paul L. Friedman denied Defendants’ motion to dismiss, finding that Plaintiffs’ allegations were plausible and that Plaintiffs were entitled to take discovery on their claims.
