Massachusetts Home Sellers File Lawsuit Against MLS, Real Estate Brokerage Giants
Price fixing has sent Realtor commissions soaring in an already hot market, lawsuit alleges
Federal court dismisses commission-sharing case against NAR - Judge Andrea R.

Wood is also overseeing the Moehrl case. In his lawsuit, Leeder requested that the court stop NAR from enforcing the rules that require listing brokers to offer a buyer broker commission in order to submit a listing to a NAR-affiliated MLS.
