The Chamber of Commerce, SIFMA, ISDA, the Structured Finance Association, the Bank Policy Institute and the Loan Syndications and Trading Association submitted an amicus brief, in support of defendants-appellees, in the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California.

Intercontinental Exchange, a case involving the issue of whether the establishment of an industry financial benchmark, such as U.S. Dollar LIBOR, and related sale of financial products based on that benchmark, constitutes a per se violation of U.S. federal antitrust laws’ prohibition on illegal price fixing.
