Appeals Court Revives D.C.'s Antitrust Lawsuit Against Amazon

The ruling claims Amazon's pricing policies may harm competition, allowing the case to proceed.

The D.C. Court of Appeals reversed a lower court's dismissal of the antitrust lawsuit against Amazon.
The lawsuit alleges Amazon's practices inflate prices and stifle innovation in online retail.
Amazon argues its policies benefit consumers by promoting competitively priced offers.
The case, originally filed in May 2021, claims Amazon restricts third-party sellers from offering lower prices elsewhere.
Amazon is also facing a similar antitrust lawsuit from the FTC and several states.
