All requesting defendants denied the allegations of the Gibson and the girls and defended the claims.
Only hours submitted after a jury of Missouri had found the players of the real estate sector who were liable for collaboration to artificially inflate brokerage committees, the Gibson right case largely reflects the claims in the original court cases, including Sitzer/Burnett and Muhrl.
But the scope of the suit is much greater because it is looking for the class action status for “all persons who have listed property on a multiple frame service in the United States using a frame agent or broker who is affiliated with” one of the broker guards and a The buyer paid and a buyer paid brokerage committee between 31 October 2019 and the present.
In his submission, BHE – a subsidiary of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway – denied any liability and the allegations of the plaintiffs that she has violated the federal antitrust laws.
“BHE denies that it is concerned with or is involved in a competitiveness or behavior that has or had competitive effects, including, but not limited to, implementing or sticking to an agreement, combination or conspiracy that is competitive,” said it.
The archives of the other defendants contain similar denials of misconduct, but things differed slightly in the different defenses they offered.
Most files claimed that the claimants had the right to complain that the class members are obliged to arbitrate their claims on the basis of the individual contracts they have signed and that the claimants did not suffer any damage caused by the defendants. Moreover, they say that the claims are excluded by the status of limitations, that the claimants corresponded to the alleged behavior of the defendants and that the behavior that is on the rule of law is “pro-competitive”.
Hanna Holdings and Crye-Leike also claimed that the National Association of Realtors’ (NAR) Commission Agree of the Court of Appeal has the claims of the plaintiffs. Crye-Like argues that it is a ‘released party’ under the settlement, and Hanna Holdings argues that the claims of the Gibson requirers have been released as part of that settlement.
Hanna Holdings was previously dismissed from another lawsuit in Pennsylvania.
