Comdata Network, Inc., Case No. 07-1078 (E.D. Pa.). The Marchbanks litigation settled in January 2014 for $130 million and significant prospective relief-in the form of, among other things, meaningful and enforceable commitments by the largest over-the-road trucker fleet card issuer in the United States to modify or not to enforce those portions of its merchant services agreements that plaintiffs challenged as anticompetitive, and that an expert economist has determined to be worth an additional $260 million to $491 million (bringing the total value of the settlement to between $390 and $621 million). The settlement was preliminary approved on March 17, 2014, and finally approved on July 14, 2014. Mr. Curley, was a finalist for the American Antitrust Institute’s award for Outstanding Antitrust Achievement by a Young Lawyer in 2014 for his work on the Marchbanks litigation.
