Which it likely never will. Even if the case does end up in front of a federal judge, it would probably just get tossed, so there would never be much in the way of back and forth proceedings. |
I think there is a good chance that the FTC is crazy enough to take it to court, even if the CMA/EC approves it, I think if CMA/EC approve it then FTC may simply skip straight to federal court, FTC has spoken up lately about how important it is to take risks even if they keep losing, their case against Meta in a federal court is filled with extremely shoddy evidence as well.
You're right though that it should be tossed by a judge fairly quickly. There is a lot of speculation that the losses are to force a change in law, I don't know how that would work, maybe the FTC keeps losing so they go to Congress like "see, we're trying to stop these mergers but the law prevents us, we have to change the law or we won't be able to stop anyone" Lol.
