DOJ Reaches Settlement with Dean Foods

On March 29, 2011, Department of Justice (“DOJ”) reached a settlement with Dean Foods Company (“Dean”) that requires Dean to divest a significant milk processing plant in Waukesha, Wis., and related assets that it acquired from the Foremost Farms USA Cooperative, including the Golden Guernsey brand name. The DOJ’s Antitrust Division and state attorneys general from Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, filed a proposed consent decree in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. The settlement agreement resolves the antitrust concerns alleged in the civil antitrust lawsuit originally filed by the DOJ and the state attorneys general on Jan. 22, 2010.

Canadian Competition Bureau Blocks First Merger After 6 Years – And It’s A Non-Reportable, Consummated Transaction

On January 26, 2011, in a surprising enforcement action, the Canadian Competition Bureau publically announced its application to the Competition Tribunal for an order to undo the consummated acquisition by CCS Corporation (“CCS”) of Complete Environmental Inc.

Specifically, the Competition Bureau is seeking an order from the Competition Tribunal dissolving the merger and requiring CCS to divest itself of Complete entirely, or, in the alternative, to divest other appropriate assets to address the Bureau’s concerns.
