WASHINGTON : A U.S. judicial panel on Monday said Texas' antitrust lawsuit against Alphabet's Google would return to federal court in Texas, where it was originally filed.
At Google's request it had been moved in August 2021 to a federal court in New York, where other advertising technology cases were being heard. Neither Google nor the Texas attorney general's office immediately responded to a request for comment. Texas had asked for the lawsuit to be moved back after the U.S. Congress passed legislation that grants state attorneys general the right to choose where an antitrust lawsuit will be litigated.
In its order, signed by chair Karen Caldwell, the panel wrote:"On its face, the Venue Act plainly is intended to allow state antitrust actions to proceed in the action’s original forum."The search and advertising giant, which also makes a smartphone operating system and owns YouTube, faces antitrust lawsuits around the world with most based on abuse of dominance of one sort or another.
