The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, US (‘9th Circuit Court’) upheld the decision of U.S. District Court, Western District of Washington (‘District Court’), against the Real Estate Exchange Incorporation, Delaware (‘REX’), in a case pertaining to deceptive practices related to Multiple Listing Service (‘MLS’) and non-MLS listing by Zillow Group Incorporation (‘Zillow’) and National Association of Realtors (‘NAR’). MLS listings is database of properties that allow real estate brokers and agents to communicate property information with other professionals. The 9th Circuit Court, concurring with the District Court’s decision, stated that the no-commingling rule did not amount to combined effort for anti-competitive conduct.
