Frustrated at being charged for parking that he did not need; Dawson filed a lawsuit in federal district court against Live Nation arguing that the bundled parking fee was unfair since consumers were forced to pay it in order to attend the concert. He asserted the tying arrangement violated Section 1 of the Sherman Act.

Law Discussion Assignment
On February 1, a salesperson for Metropolitan Life Insurance met with the Drakes at their home. The Drakes lived in a 55+ retirement community with a homeowner’s association that prohibited door-to-door sales. After facing a persuasive sales pitch about the importance of providing for the surviving spouse and their kids and grandkids, the Drakes signed a contract to purchase a life insurance policy for a total of $3000 per year. A down payment of $100 was required, with the remainder of the cost to be paid in monthly payments. Two days later, the Drakes had second thoughts about purchasing the insurance. Mr. Drake contacted the insurance company and stated that they had decided to cancel the contract. The insurance company said it would be impossible to cancel the first year and the Drakes would be in breach of contract if they did not make all of the payments.
