Group Boycotts
Contents
Place in the Framework
Group boycotts involve coordinated refusals to deal, but modern doctrine applies per se treatment more cautiously than in price fixing or market division cases.
Core Questions
- Is the boycott exclusionary, collusive, or both?
- Does the group have market power or control access to something competitively important?
- Are there plausible procompetitive justifications?
Working Notes
Add notes here on the boundaries of per se boycott analysis and when courts shift toward rule of reason treatment.
