Nassau New York Jury Instruction — 3.3.1 Section 1, Per Se Violation Conspiracy To Fix Prices — Includes Alternative Rule of Reason Instruction is a legal guideline provided to jurors in Nassau County, New York, regarding the prosecution of individuals or entities involved in a conspiracy to fix prices, which is considered a per se violation. This instruction covers both the per se violation and an alternative rule of reason instruction. A per se violation refers to a situation where an agreement or arrangement between competitors to fix prices is regarded as inherently illegal, without a need for further analysis. In such cases, the prosecution must demonstrate that the agreement to fix prices occurred and that it had a harmful impact on competition and consumers. Alternatively, the instruction also includes an alternative rule of reason instruction. The rule of reason analysis requires a more in-depth assessment of the alleged conspiracy, taking into account various factors such as market dynamics, pro-competitive justifications, and potential anticompetitive effects. The jury would need to determine whether the conspiracy had an actual adverse impact on competition and if any pro-competitive benefits outweighed those effects. In summary, the Nassau New York Jury Instruction — 3.3.1 Section 1, Per Se Violation Conspiracy To Fix Prices — Includes Alternative Rule of Reason Instruction encompasses both the per se violation approach and the alternative rule of reason analysis when dealing with cases involving price-fixing conspiracies.
