Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:55:09 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A series of court challenges seek to upend longstanding real estate industry practices that determine the commissions agents receive on the sale of a home — and who foots the bill. A federal jury in one of those cases on Tuesday ordered the National Association of Realtors along with some of the nation's biggest real estate brokerages to pay almost $1.8 billion in damages, after finding they artificially inflated commissions paid to real estate agents.

See the list by county The verdict in the 2019 case in Missouri stated that the defendants “conspired to require home sellers to pay the broker representing the buyer of their homes in violation of federal antitrust law.”If treble damages — which allows plaintiffs to potentially receive up to three times actual or compensatory damages — are awarded, then the defendants may have to pay more than $5 billion.“This matter is not close to being final as we will appeal the jury’s ver...

New infant RSV vaccine in short supply as respiratory illness season picks up The ACS previously recommended yearly screening for people aged 55-74 who smoked the equivalent of a pack a day for 30 years. The new recommendation is for people aged 50 to 80 who smoke the equivalent of a pack a day for 20 years."What this really allows us to do is to catch younger patients, and even patients who haven't smoked as much, and we can potentially catch more lung cancers earlier," said Dr. Andy Labelle, a pulmonary critical care physician. Labelle said many people with lung cancer don't have symptoms until the cancer has progressed to a late stage, so screening is important."If we can catch their cancer at a stage one, it is very a cur...
