For example, a supplier refused to renew a chemical products distributor’s contract when it expired. The distributor sued the supplier, alleging that the supplier and several other local competing distributors conspired to terminate the distributor because of its refusal to raise its resale prices. The distributor recovered $10.5 million in antitrust damages. Although the manufacturer’s products accounted for only 16% of the distributor’s sales, the distributor went out of business 4 years later as a result of the termination. The distributor recovered damages for the loss of its entire business. In general, the same rules apply to non-renewals and terminations.
