Opinion
WUNDERLICH, J.
Defendant Exxon Corporation petitions for writ of mandate following the trial court’s denial of its motions for summary adjudication on various causes of action, primarily antitrust violations. The key question is whether or not for purposes of the Cartwright Act the relevant market for assessing anticompetitive behavior is all gasoline or Exxon gasoline. The trial court concluded the relevant market is a factual question, such that Exxon gasoline could be shown to be the relevant market. We disagree and thus grant Exxon’s petition for writ of mandate.
