Costco denied liquor rehearing
From Times Wire Services
A U.S. court declined a request by Costco Wholesale Corp. to reconsider a decision that backed Washington state rules controlling pricing and discounts on beer and wine.
The three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in January that most Washington state regulations challenged by Costco, the largest U.S. warehouse club, were constitutional.
Costco had argued that the rules restricted competition.
