Lawyers for Standard Oil Challenge BIS Oil Fine On Rehearing
Chicago Sept 12 Counsel for the Standard Oil Company of Indiana filed an answer to the government's rehearing petition over the 29 240 000 anti rebate fine. The brief argues the appellate court properly reversed the judgment and questions whether the wealth of the New Jersey unit or Indiana unit should drive punishment. The reply defends the court's use of settlements and payments totaling 36 offenses rather than the larger carloads count, and disputes the petitioners' reading of Judge Landis opinion.
