Nearly two dozen restaurants have filed a reply brief in support of their motion to establish a separate restaurant direct action purchaser (DAP) track and to appoint liaison counsel in the massive price-fixing litigation underway in the Northern District of Illinois. The filing, submitted last Thursday, asked the court to grant the motion and seperate restaurants, including El Pollo Loco, Chick-fil-A, and Golden Corral, from the rest of the class based on the similarity of their claims and aligned interests.
The brief assailed the defendants’ oppositions. It argued that the broiler chicken producers do not raise any “legitimate concern[s] regarding case schedule, delay, or duplication.” Instead, the restaurants contended that the defendants simply wish to shut them down based on their recognition of how much stronger the restaurants’ claims are prosecuted together.
