State v. Hitachi, Ltd.

Parens patriae action brought by State on behalf of Illinois indirect purchasers of products containing cathode ray tubes, alleging violations of Illinois Antitrust Act. Appellant corporation, Stericycle, intervened and filed motion for determination of valid claims. Stericycle admitted that its claim for 77,139 monitors was overstated and asked court to allow it to submit a revised claim. Court properly denied request, as claims filing period had expired; and there was no basis for its claim to be deemed valid. (ELLIS and BURKE, concurring.)
