On March 30, 2021, Huntington Hospital (Huntington) and Cedars-Sinai Health System (Cedars-Sinai) filed a first of its kind lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court against the California Department of Justice (California DOJ) and the Attorney General of California challenging restrictions and conditions imposed on the parties’ proposed affiliation. The case involves a novel use of California Corporations Code §§ 5920 to invoke antitrust concerns, remedies, and notable economic theories, all of which are worthy of observation and study by all health care practitioners.
