GBA CASE HISTORY # 68
| Description |
The Member-Firm was retained by an owner to design a landfill and perform “related services” that included a variety of marketing functions. When the owner decided to auction the site, it expected another of the Member Firm’s clients to be the high bidder. Instead, the other client offered a surprisingly low price. Although no evidence of collusion between the Member Firm and low bidder existed, the owner assumed that collusion occurred and sued.
