Hennepin Minnesota Jury Instruction — 3.3.2 Section 1, Per Se Violation Tying Agreement — Defense Of Justification is a specific legal instruction provided to jurors in Hennepin County, Minnesota, when a case involves allegations of a tying agreement that may constitute a per se violation of antitrust laws. This jury instruction aims to guide the jury in understanding the defense of justification that the defendant may raise in such cases. A tying agreement is a situation where a seller conditions the sale of one product (the tying product) on the buyer's agreement to also purchase a separate, distinct product (the tied product). If this tying arrangement is deemed to have anticompetitive effects, it may be considered a per se violation, meaning that the agreement is presumed to be illegal without the need to consider its actual impact on competition. The Hennepin Minnesota Jury Instruction — 3.3.2 Section 1, Per Se Violation Tying Agreement — Defense Of Justification provides guidance on the defense of justification that the defendant can assert. This defense argues that even if a tying agreement exists, it is justified by valid business reasons and does not harm competition. The instruction further instructs the jury to carefully consider whether the defendant has established sufficient evidence to support this defense. It is worth noting that the provided description refers specifically to Hennepin Minnesota Jury Instruction — 3.3.2 Section 1, Per Se Violation Tying Agreement — Defense Of Justification. However, it is possible that there may be variations or other types of instructions related to per se tying agreement violations and the defense of justification in other jurisdictions or legal contexts. Therefore, it is essential to refer to the specific jury instructions applicable to the relevant jurisdiction or case.
