Eleventh Circuit Court Rules in Favor of SmileDirectClub
July 20 2021 - 4:25PM
SmileDirectClub, Inc. (Nasdaq: SDC), a next generation oral care
company with the first medtech platform for teeth straightening,
today announced that an en banc panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the Eleventh Circuit sided with the company, rejecting the
Georgia Board of Dentistry’s attempt to shield itself from
antitrust liability through an interlocutory appeal. Both the
Georgia Dental Board and the Alabama Dental Board sought immediate
appeals of lower court decisions in SmileDirectClub’s favor.
SmileDirectCub, issued the following statement from Susan Greenspon
Rammelt, SmileDirectClub’s Chief Legal Officer and EVP of Business
Affairs:
“SmileDirectClub is pleased with the appellate
court’s decision and that discovery can now proceed so that we can
get to the merits of this case. We are grateful for the support of
the FTC and DOJ in this matter and look forward to a similar ruling
in connection with the Alabama Dental Board’s appeal of a lower
court ruling in our favor. While we take no pleasure in disputes
with dental boards, we cannot and will not let anticompetitive
conduct interfere with our mission to democratize access to
care.”
