Lawrence Anderson v. Boyne USA, Inc.

Butte, Montana business litigation lawyers represented the parties in an antitrust dispute.



In this lawsuit, several current unit owners in the Condo-Hotels (the "Plaintiffs”) sued Boyne claiming that the requirement contained in Condo-Hotel Declarations that unit owners wishing to rent their units must hire Boyne as their exclusive rental manager is illegal and unenforceable. Plaintiffs also alleged that Boyne has operated the rental management program in violation of the law, has misappropriated rental revenue belonging to class members, and has improperly used its control over the rental management program to financially benefit itself at the expense of unit owners in various ways.



Boyne denies the allegations asserted against it and denies any wrongdoing. The parties have agreed to settle the case to avoid the uncertainty and costs of trial and any potential post-trial appeal.

RDER: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1. Plaintiffs' 264 Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. 2. Plaintiffs' 262 Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED. 3. Boyne's 322 Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED. 4. Boyne's 324 Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED. 5. Boyne's 326 Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED. 6. Boyne's 317 Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED. 7. Boyne's 328 Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED. Signed by Judge Brian Morris on 1/31/2025.
