Executive Summary
Sanofi lost a discovery dispute in a pending antitrust class action over alleged coordinated retraction of hospital discounts. The court denied Sanofi's request for a protective order requiring 10 days' notice before plaintiffs contact former employees, and ordered Sanofi to provide contact information for former employees within 10 business days. This is a routine procedural ruling on discovery management with no material financial exposure — it does not address the merits of the antitrust claims.
