Who thought this was a secret? they lead OPEC for crying out loud.

what law are they accusing them of breaking then?

I don't see them saying anything about it.

It means they don't think they can prove a law was broken.

It doesn't even say but I assume this is a civil suit? you can sue for any reason you can think of in civil court. It doesn't mean you are correct. If this is a criminal suit then you have to tell the court what law was broken.

What laws have they violated, and why haven't the plaintiffs referenced it?

Hiring marketing consultants to help you figure out how best to sell your product is perfectly legal. This lawsuit isn't even claiming a violation of any laws.

That's even pushing it. there's the common understanding of collusion, which this could maybe fall under, but doesn't matter legally. And then there's the legal definition of collusion which they aren't being accused of. The article doesn't say what law they are violating, or even if the suit is claiming they are.

Besides being a stupid business model, what is illegal about hiring a consultant to advise you how to run your business? There can't be a law saying all landlords MUST lease out all their properties is there?

I guess if you think using Glassdoor to look up salary rates in your area is collusion as well.

It's a more efficient use of time, I get that, but you are still operating month to month, on vacancies, and year to year on contracts. The end result each month is going to remain the same.

because it's not colluding, it's market research.
