Washington Supreme Court Tuna Pricefixing Decision - To Accompany Case Law Update "StarKist Avoids Joint and Several Liability in Washington Tuna Price-Fixing Suit"
The Washington Supreme Court declined to review an appellate court finding that potentially freed StarKist Co. from liability for the actions of its co-conspirators in a decades-long packaged tuna price-fixing scheme. The court’s decision allows a Washington appeals court panel’s January ruling to stand. The appellate court reversed a Seattle state court order that previously found StarKist was jointly and severally liable for harm caused by its co-conspirators, Bumble Bee and Chicken of the Sea.
