OIL SPECULATORS ACCUSED OF MARKET MANIPULATION
(FindLaw's Courtside)- The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has filed a lawsuit against several oil speculators and their agents and employees alleging that the speculators manipulated, and attempted to manipulate, the contract prices for crude oil derivatives. The suit, filed under the Commodity Exchange Act, accuses the defendants of keeping prices of certain crude oil supplies artificially high while they short-sold a series of derivatives based on those inflated crude prices.
| JUDGE STRIKES DOWN WISCONSIN LABOR LAW
(FindLaw's Courtside)- A circuit court judge in Wisconsin has struck down the state's controversial labor law after finding that the legislature violated Wisconsin's Open Meetings Law when it approved the legislation since it met on only two hours notice in a location that was not accessible to the public. The law, which sparked days of protest across the state, removed collective bargaining rights from most public employees, except in the negotiation of salaries.
| BRYAN STOW AND FAMILY SUE LA DODGERS & FRANK MCCOURT
(FindLaw's Courtside) - The family of Bryan Stow, the San Francisco Giants fan left with brain damage after a brutal attack outside Dodger stadium, has sued the Los Angeles Dodgers, team owner Frank McCourt Jr., and a host of business entities affiliated with the Dodgers and Dodger stadium. The complaint alleges that Dodger stadium experiences more criminal behavior than any venue in major league baseball, and that despite knowledge of this and knowledge of the heated rivalry between the Dodgers and Giants, the Dodgers organization cut back in security at the stadium and allowed facilities like the parking lot to lapse into disrepair. The plaintiffs claim that by failing to provide adequate security and proper lighting, the Dodgers caused the circumstances in which Stow's attackers targeted him, and in which stadium personnel took 10 to 15 minutes to respond.
