Abbott Laboratories, Inc. v. Segura green

1996Instead, the Texas court was persuaded that the policy reasons precluding indirect purchaser recovery under the federal antitrust law announced in Hanover Shoe and Illinois Brick Co. applied with equal force to preclude a consumer claim under the Texas DTPA. 907 S.W.2d at 507 .

1996The Segura court concluded that to rule otherwise would undermine administration of the Texas Antitrust Act. 907 S.W.2d at 505-06 . [8] It is apparent, however, that the Florida DTPA is distinguishable from the Texas DTPA in many important respects.
