A vertical price fixing dispute involving Johnson & Johnson has reached the Shanghai Higher People's Court, but one case will not be enough to clarify what constitutes sufficient burden of proof

The Shanghai No 1 Intermediate People's Court handed down its judgment in favour of Johnson & Johnson (J&J) on May 21. Rainbow Medical Equipment & Supplies then appealed the decision.

The appeal is to be held in a closed session, with the second hearing scheduled for October 30. The appeal to the Shanghai Higher People's Court is only the second anti-monopoly case to be heard by a Higher People's Court.
