A collusive lawsuit or collusive action is a lawsuit in which the parties to the suit have no actual quarrel with one another, but one sues the other to achieve some result desired by both.
Collusion is a non-competitive, secret, and sometimes illegal agreement between rivals which attempts to disrupt the market's equilibrium. The act of collusion involves people or companies which would typically compete against one another, but who conspire to work together to gain an unfair market advantage.
Colin Kaepernick’s attorney Mark Geragos said Tuesday he has a “high degree of confidence” that he will be able to prove National Football League team owners colluded to keep Kaepernick from being signed.
