State of New York, Appellant v. Mobil Oil Corporation, Respondent

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order dismissing the price‑discrimination causes of action, holding that the alleged practices do not fall within subdivision 1 of General Business Law § 340. The Court relied on the statute’s history and the noscitur a sociis canon to limit the scope of "arrangement" and concluded that price discrimination alone is not proscribed by the Donnelly Act.
