2. Waste Management Inc. (WMI), a company in the solid waste disposal business, acquired the
stock of EMW Ventures Inc. EMW was a diversified holding company, one of whose subsidiaries
was Waste Resources. WMI and Waste Resources each had subsidiaries operating in or near
Dallas, Texas. The government challenged the merger on the theory that it violated 7 of the
Clayton Act. The trial court agreed. In finding a 7 violation, the trial court defined the relevant
market as including all forms of trash collection (except at single-family or multiple-family
residences or small apartment complexes) in Dallas County plus a small fringe area. The
combined WMI and Waste Resources subsidiaries had page 50-30a 48.8 percent share of the
relevant market. The trial court held that this market share raised a presumption of illegality and
that WMI had not rebutted the presumption. WMI appealed, arguing that new firms could easily
enter the trash collection business in the relevant geographic area and that the trial court should
have regarded this ease of entry as a sufficient rebuttal of the presumption of illegality. Was WMI
correct?
