Jeffery Cross and Deborah Bornstein Pen Article on Dean Foods Antitrust Case

In light of its decision in In re Southeastern Milk Antitrust Litigation, also known as "Dean Foods," the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has significantly advanced the analytical framework for determining the geographic market in antitrust cases. It did so by holding that the “hypothetical monopolist” test used in merger analysis can, in certain circumstances, be practically the same as the Supreme Court’s test in Tampa Electric Co. v. Nashville Coal Co. The Sixth Circuit’s decision in this regard makes a great deal of sense; the question is whether it went far enough.
