“explain[ed] what further discovery would reveal,”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“'Although a company may ordinarily deal or refuse to deal with whomever it pleases without fear of violating the antitrust laws, refusal to deal which is anticompetitive in purpose or effect, or both, constitutes an unreasonable restraint of trade in violation of the Sherman Act,' even when justified by a legitimate business reason. Whether a defendant refused to deal and, if so, whether the refusal was a product of an anticompetitive motive are factual issues that should not be taken from the jury 'unless "the evidence is such that without weighing the credibility of the witnesses there can be but one reasonable conclusion as to the verdict.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Generally where a party has had no previous opportunity to develop evidence and the evidence is crucial to material issues in the case, discovery should be allowed before the trial court rules on a motion for summary judgment.”
