Government for New Trial Denied in 29 Million Standard Oil Case
The United States Circuit Court of Appeals denied the government's petition for a rehearing of the Standard Oil $29,000,000 fine case. Justices Grosscup and Seaman ruled unanimously, upholding Judge Landis's prior decision that the offense involved a single shipment and that the Superior conduct justified the large penalty. The court also notes some testimony was admitted and later struck, and adds reasons for why the government might seek further review. The decision keeps alive the dispute over whether multiple shipments can be viewed as separate offenses and preserves arguments about the reach of the New Jersey-linked parties and the proper processes to address them.
