Christie Clinic now sole defendant in state's antitrust suit

URBANA – Christie Clinic is now defending itself in an antitrust action alone.

Champaign County Judge Richard Klaus accepted a settlement agreement Wednesday afternoon that allowed the Champaign clinic system's co-defendant, Carle Clinic, to end its involvement in the lawsuit filed last year against both clinics by Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan. "I think it is a good and maybe even elegant solution to the problem," Klaus said, thanking Carle Clinic and the state for negotiating a settlement in good faith.
