Court ruling weakens North Carolina fair trade law
North Carolina's Supreme Court struck down a major provision of the Fair Trade Act, effectively voiding much of the law and impacting pricing. Local merchants in High Point report fair trade goods remain a small portion of sales, with some dealers like Steele and Vaughn relying heavily on fair trade items. Antitrust attorney Jean Benoy favors repeal, noting federal law restricts price fixing unless protected by the act, while the ruling leaves a limited clause requiring uniform pricing when a single dealer signs a pact.
