Legal Question in Business Law in Virginia
Manufacturer A has always sold a product to single-store Retailer A and to multiple-store Retailer B, which the two retailers have always resold to the public.
Now, because Retailer B purchases so much of the product from Manufacturer A, it has made Manufacturer A agree not to sell a certain type of this product any more to Retailer A. This type of the product had been a big money-maker for decades to Retailer A.
Is this considered illegal, such as an illegal "Restraint of Trade"?
Thanks!

Possibly illegal, but you would need to develop more facts and do some legal research, as well as a review of the contracts. Good luck.
