Available Services for RPA Plaintiffs or Attorneys

Litigation under the Robinson-Patman Act has enough quirks to make it important to develop a center at which RPA litigants and their attorneys can go for ideas and/or help.

Without any attempt to be all-inclusive, some of the more important assistance which RPAMall and its editor, Carl E. Person, can offer are:

• Instructions which should be given to RPA plaintiffs as soon as possible, and especially prior to the start of the lawsuit.

• Briefs on important areas of RPA law.

• Financing of out-of-pocket expenses of the litigation.

• Public or private offering of shares in the lawsuit.

• Assistance in tailoring a confidentiality agreement which does not unduly tie the hands of the plaintiff and its lawyer.

• A list of 50 (YES, FIFTY!) hardball litigation techniques which can be expected from the multi-national defendant and its attorneys, together with ways of offsetting such tactics.

• Tactics to use in obtaining data processing records, and motion which may be needed to obtain the records at little or no cost.

• Expert witnesses for price and service discrimination damages.

• Expert witnesses for liability in Robinson-Patman Act litigation.

• A list of the most essential items to include in the plaintiff to avoid having the RPA complaint dismissed.

• An explanation of how to keep the costs of litigation down to an affordable amount.

• Recusal of a district court judge or magistrate judge: certain things to look out for, and the procedure for obtaining recusal; TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE IN THIS REGARD AND EVEN 1 DAY'S DELAY CAN BE FATAL.

• Other current RPA cases and a list of the attorneys involved in them.

• The most recent RPA decisions.

  If you want more information about any of the foregoing, please call or fax the editor, attorney Carl E. Person, whose telephone number is 212-307-4444, and whose fax number is 212-307-0247. E-mail should not be used if an immediate response is desired.
