DJN: =DJ Microsoft, DOJ -2: Microsoft Argues Remedy Not Justified By Mark Wigfield Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--The remedies sought by the Justice Department in its antitrust case against Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) "are improper because Microsoft believes that they are outside the scope of the issues in the case and the evidence presented at trial," the software giant said in a brief filed with the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia Thursday. But the Justice Department said reining in Microsoft's conduct is essential to "unfetter the market from Microsoft's anticompetitive conduct," it said in the brief. The remedies will ensure "that there remain no practices likely to result in monopolization in the future." The comments came in a joint brief filed by the two parties as a prelude to the next phase of the three-year-old Microsoft antitrust case. The U.S. Court of Appeals in June sent the case back to the U.S. Court of Appeals after upholding one of three counts against the company: that it used anticompetitive means to illegally maintain its monopoly in the market for operating system software. The Appeals Court ordered a new judge to craft a remedy after vacating the break-up order originally issued last year by District Court Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson, who was removed from the case. The two parties will meet with the new judge, Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, next Friday. (MORE) DOW JONES NEWS 09-20-01 10:22 AM * end of story *
