EU Judge pushes for Microsoft antitrust settlement
CRN.com | at | by Mike
The judge deciding whether to uphold or suspend the European Union's landmark antitrust ruling against Microsoft prefers encouraging parties to find a "third way" outside of litigation--partly because that's the way things are often done back in his home country of Denmark.
The judge has the power to suspend the EU order in total or in part, but cannot rewrite it himself. However, legal experts say he could suspend it for a limited period to encourage the parties to work things out, reporting back to him on their progress, as he did in a recent case involving the European Commission and French beef producers.
