Packaged Seafood Products Antitrust Litigation
The causation theory is based on economic principles, asserting that the defendants' collusive conduct—price-fixing, market division, and capacity restrictions—artificially inflated prices, causing economic damages to consumers and businesses. Criminal pleas by some defendants support the assertion that illegal agreements disrupted normal market functioning, leading to overcharges and loss of market efficiency.
