(a) This chapter applies to: (1) any contract, combination, or conspiracy, wherever created, formed, or entered into; (2) any establishment, maintenance, or use of monopoly power; and (3) any attempt or conspiracy to establish, maintain, or use monopoly power; wherever any of the foregoing has an impact on trade or commerce of this state sufficient to invoke the jurisdiction of the superior court.
(b) In deciding whether conduct restrains or monopolizes trade or commerce or may substantially lessen competition within this state, determination of the relevant market or effective area of competition shall not be limited by the boundaries of this state. However, some portion of the relevant market or effective area of competition must be at least in part within this state.
(c) No action or proceeding instituted pursuant to the provisions of this chapter shall be barred on the ground that the activity or conduct complained of in any way affects or involves interstate or foreign commerce.
(d) In any action under this chapter, the fact that a person or public body has not dealt directly with the defendant shall not bar or otherwise limit recovery. Provided, however, that courts shall exclude from the amount of monetary relief awarded in the action any amount of monetary relief which duplicates amounts which have been awarded for the same injury.
