US: Re-file date granted in Coachella suit

By  |  October 9, 2018

Portland’s Soul’d Out Productions has been given until 25 October to re-file its lawsuit over Coachella’s radius clause, after a judge granted AEG’s motion to dismiss.

The antitrust suit filed against AEG and Coachella by Oregon promoter Soul’d Out has been partially dismissed by US federal judge Michael Mosman, who granted AEG’s motion to dismiss the antitrust claims, but declined to rule on other elements of the suit.

According to Aldrich, Soul’d Out has also been given the option of re-filing the antitrust suit should the plaintiff revise its definition of “relevant markets”.

“Establishing the correct product market is something the courts require with a degree of particularity [when assessing an antitrust dispute],” he explains.

Soul’d Out has been given a deadline of 25 October to re-file.
