United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit - 221 F.3d 928
Contributed by 🤖LSDBot🤖
Toys "R" Us coordinated with toy manufacturers to restrict the supply of new or promoted products to toy discounters and the court found them guilty of violating antitrust laws.
Issue
The issue is whether Toys "R" Us violated antitrust laws by coordinating with manufacturers to limit supply for toy discounters and whether their actions were legal.
Conclusion
The conclusion is that the court agrees with the FTC's decision and finds it to be supported by enough evidence and allowed under the FTC Act.

Facts
- Toys "R" Us was found to have violated antitrust laws by coordinating with toy manufacturers to boycott warehouse clubs and limiting access to new or promoted products.
- The Federal Trade Commission deemed these actions anticompetitive and illegal.
- Toys "R" Us appealed the FTC's finding of a horizontal conspiracy, but the court upheld the FTC's decision and determined that Toys "R" Us had market power and their actions were having anticompetitive effects.
- The court also found that Toys "R" Us' policy to limit supply or refuse to sell to any toy discounter was not a legitimate response to free riding by warehouse clubs.

Holding
- Hey! This is the holding for Pennoyer v. Neff. It probably isn't the holding for the brief you're looking at. Join LSD+ for full access.
- A named property within the court's jurisdiction is attached to satisfy an unrelated claim, despite the owner of said property being a non-resident of the state.
- A named property within the court's jurisdiction is attached as the basis for the suit (e.g., to quiet title), despite the owner of said property being a non-resident of the state.
- An individual is sued who is a resident of the state, or who has been served with process while physically located within the state.
- jurisdiction - Neff is neither a resident, nor was served while within the state. Service by publication may be valid for an

- jurisdiction - the action was on the basis of a suit to receive payment owed, and did not relate directly to a property within the state.
- jurisdiction, as the Oregon property was not attached to the initial suit, but rather was added in after the suit happened - note that Neff did not even purchase the property until after the suit had concluded.
- Accordingly, the Oregon court did not have jurisdiction over the initial suit between Neff and his lawyer.
- Enforcement of a judgment without jurisdiction denies due process!
- Additionally, although judgments rendered by other states are entitled to full faith and credit, if that state did not have jurisdiction to render the judgment, it loses such entitlement.
