A jury has awarded a $1 settlement in favor of the International Swimming League in its lawsuit against FINA (now World Aquatics) over antitrust issues. The ISL sought $41 million in damages, claiming that anti-competitive behavior by the global governing body damaged their business interests.
This was a largely moral victory for the ISL, and the jury award was largely symbolic.
The finding in favor of the ISL does allow them to seek attorneys’ fees and costs in the case, and can provide injunction against future anti-competitive behavior by World Aquatics.
