This appeal arises from a breach of contract action in which the plaintiffs, The Reserve Realty, LLC (Reserve Realty), and Theodore Haddad, Sr., as executor of the estate of Jeanette Haddad, sought to recover real estate brokerage fees in connection with the sale and/or lease of units in an apartment complex constructed and leased by the defendant BLT Reserve, LLC (BLT), and of commercial office space not yet constructed by the defendant Windemere Reserve, LLC (Windemere). After a trial to the court, judgment was rendered in favor of the defendants. The plaintiffs appeal from that judgment, claiming that the trial court improperly determined that (1) the purchase and sale agreements upon which they based their claims for brokerage fees constituted part of an illegal tying arrangement in violation of the Connecticut Antitrust Act, General Statutes § 35-24 et seq. (antitrust act), (2) the listing agreements entered into pursuant to such purchase and sale agreements did not comply with General Statutes § 20-325a, and (3) such listing agreements were unenforceable by the plaintiffs because they were personal to Jeanette Haddad. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.

The following facts, as found by the trial court in its memorandum of decision, are pertinent to our review. The plaintiff, Theodore Haddad, Sr., is the duly appointed executor of the estate of his wife, Jeanette Haddad. Prior to her death in January, 2013, Jeanette Haddad was a successful and highly regarded real estate broker in the Danbury real estate market, performing brokerage services under the business name, "Jeanette Haddad, Broker." 1 She employed several licensed sales-persons, including Theodore Haddad, Sr., and she engaged the services of her son, Theodore Haddad, Jr., who was a licensed real estate broker with his own broker's license and business. The plaintiff, Reserve Realty, a limited liability company organized and existing pursuant to the laws of Connecticut, was founded by Jeanette Haddad and Paul Scalzo on September 15, 2003. 2 The defendants, BLT and Windemere, are limited liability companies, the principals and owners of which include Carl Kuehner, Jr., and Paul Kuehner. 3

In early 2002, a group of real estate developers, later known as Woodland Group II, LLC (Woodland), contacted Jeanette Haddad and Century 21 Scalzo Realty, Inc. (Scalzo Realty), a real estate franchise owned by Scalzo, 4 to engage their brokerage services in connection with the negotiations for the purchase of a 546 acre parcel known as the Reserve. As part of the broker/ client relationship, the "Exclusive Right to Sell-Listing Agreement" (Woodland agreement) was executed by and between Jeanette Haddad and Scalzo, and two of the Woodland real estate developers. Pursuant to the Woodland agreement, Jeanette Haddad and Scalzo Realty had the exclusive right to sell and/or lease property in the Reserve, and the real estate developers were required to "make aware to the new purchaser of any part, or of individual lots, or of land, that this Agreement shall apply to that new purchaser and [Jeanette Haddad and Scalzo Realty]." On or about June 28, 2002, Woodland purchased the Reserve. Woodland, which wished to develop the Reserve, continued to use the services of Jeanette Haddad and Scalzo thereafter to market the property. 5 Woodland also proposed a master plan for the entire 546 acres, which the Danbury Zoning Commission approved on or about November 26, 2002. Shortly thereafter, Windemere filed an administrative appeal of the plan's approval in the Superior Court, which effectively stayed the approval of the master plan and prevented Woodland from moving forward with the development and sale of the Reserve. Thereafter, representatives of Woodland, Windemere, and BLT met to negotiate the sale of two tracts of land, later known as parcel 13 and parcel 15. Part of the negotiation resulted in Windemere's withdrawal of the administrative appeal.

On July 17, 2004, Woodland entered into the purchase and sale agreement with BLT for the purchase of parcel 13 and the purchase and sale agreement with Windemere for the purchase of parcel 15 (purchase and sale agreements). Paragraph eight of the purchase and sale agreement for parcel 13 obligated BLT to enter into a listing agreement with Jeanette Haddad and Scalzo Realty, pursuant to which Jeanette Haddad and Scalzo Realty would receive a 3 percent commission on any subsequent sale and/or lease of parcel 13, either as a whole or as individual lots. Similarly, paragraph eight of the purchase and sale agreement for parcel 15 obligated Windemere to enter into a listing agreement with Jeanette Haddad and Scalzo Realty, pursuant to which Jeanette Haddad and Scalzo Realty would receive a $1 million commission for their efforts in the leasing of office space that Windemere intended to develop on the parcel. 6

Woodland, BLT, and Windemere also executed an escrow agreement, pursuant to which the purchase and sale agreements would be held in escrow by Woodland's counsel for ninety days until several conditions were met. One of the conditions was the execution of listing agreements and consent to sell the property agreements, to be executed by Jeanette Haddad and Scalzo Realty. This condition was included to satisfy the requirement in the Woodland agreement between Woodland, Jeanette Haddad, and Scalzo Realty that Woodland "make aware to the new purchaser of any part, or of individual lots, or of land, that this Agreement shall apply to that new purchaser and [Jeanette Haddad and Scalzo Realty]."

Between July 17 and September 10, 2003, representatives of Woodland, BLT, Windemere, and Jeanette Haddad 7 negotiated the terms of the listing agreements. On September 10, 2003, a meeting was held, at which several documents were executed, 8 including the exclusive right to represent buyer/tenant (buyer's agreement); 9 the consent agreements; 10 and the exclusive right to sell-listing agreement for parcel 13, 11 the exclusive right to sell/lease-listing agreement for parcel 13, 12 the exclusive right to sell/lease-listing agreement for parcel 15, 13 and the exclusive right to sell-listing agreement for parcel 15 14 (listing agreements).

Despite having executed the listing agreements, the defendants at no time desired to retain Jeanette Haddad as the broker for the sale and/or lease of units to be built on parcel 13 and parcel 15. Rather, the defendants entered into the listing agreements only to satisfy the requirements of paragraph eight of the purchase and sale agreements, and the only reason that the parties included paragraph eight in the purchase and sale agreements was to allow Woodland to comply with its contractual obligation under the Woodland agreement to require subsequent purchasers of the Reserve to retain Jeanette Haddad and Scalzo Realty as their brokers.

Beginning in early 2006, representatives of Jeanette Haddad and Scalzo Realty, including Theodore Haddad, Sr., and Theodore Haddad, Jr., diligently marketed and contacted possible buyers and lessees for the Reserve. At some point, however, the defendants decided that the listing agreements were a " 'bad marriage,' " and, in January, 2007, Paul Kuehner and Theodore Haddad, Jr., met to discuss terminating the broker/client relationship. A buy-out figure was offered to Jeanette Haddad and Scalzo, which they both refused. From early to mid-2007, Jeanette Haddad and Scalzo Realty continued to make best efforts to find prospective buyers or lessees for parcel 13 and parcel 15, but ultimately were unsuccessful. The defendants began to explore other available options, including the development of parcel 13 into a luxury apartment rental complex.

On or about April 18, 2011, the Danbury Planning and Zoning Department issued a site plan approval to BLT for the construction of a rental apartment complex on parcel 13, which would later be known as Abbey Woods. Shortly thereafter, the defendants began construction. BLT subsequently leased the apartment units in Abbey Woods through its own on-site leasing agent, with the first lease being entered into in March, 2013. Theodore Haddad, Jr., upon learning about Abbey Woods, contacted Carl Kuehner, Jr., and asked him if the defendants intended to honor the listing agreements by allowing Reserve Realty to act as broker and by paying commissions on those units already leased. Carl Kuehner, Jr., refused to discuss the issue with Theodore Haddad, Jr., claiming that the listing agreements for parcel 13 were personal service agreements between BLT and Jeanette Haddad.

In July, 2013, the plaintiffs brought this action against the defendants, claiming compensatory damages for breach of the listing agreements. 15 Specifically, the plaintiffs sought the commissions for the leasing of apartments in the Abbey Woods complex built on parcel 13 and for the lease and/or sale of a commercial office building not yet constructed on parcel 15. The defendants raised five special defenses: (1) the listing agreements were entered into pursuant to an illegal tying arrangement; (2) there was a lack of consideration in that the plaintiffs had failed to perform brokerage services entitling them to compensation; (3) the listing agreements were personal service contracts; (4) the listing agreements, by their express terms, expired on September 10, 2010; and (5) the listing agreements were unenforceable because the necessary conditions precedent had not been satisfied. After hearing twelve days of evidence, the trial court rendered judgment in favor of the defendants, concluding that the purchase and sale agreements created an illegal tying arrangement, the listing agreements did not satisfy the requirements of § 20-325a, and the listing agreements were personal service contracts with Jeanette Haddad. The plaintiffs then filed this appeal. Additional facts will be set forth as necessary.

On appeal, the plaintiffs claim that the trial court improperly concluded that (1)

the purchase and sale agreements constituted part of an illegal tying arrangement, (2) the listing agreements did not comply with § 20-325a, and (3) the listing agreements were personal to Jeanette Haddad. In order for the plaintiffs to succeed on appeal, they must prevail on all three of these claims. Because we conclude that the trial court properly determined that the purchase and sale agreements constituted part of an illegal tying arrangement, we need only address this antitrust issue in order to affirm the judgment of the trial court.

The plaintiffs claim that the defendants' agreement in the purchase and sale agreements to execute the listing agreements as a condition for purchasing parcel 13 and parcel 15 did not constitute an illegal tying arrangement in violation of the antitrust act. Specifically, the plaintiffs contend that the interpretation of illegal tying arrangements in State v. Hossan-Maxwell, Inc., 181 Conn. 655 , 436 A.2d 284 (1980), upon which the trial court relied, no longer applies because the rule of that case has been abrogated by recent federal case law. In addition, the plaintiffs contend that the defendants failed to plead or prove the existence of a relevant market, which they claim to be crucial to proving an illegal tying arrangement claim. Moreover, the plaintiffs contend that the defendants did not prove that the listing agreements' requirement that BLT use Jeanette Haddad and Scalzo Realty to market Abbey Woods foreclosed competition in the market for brokerage services. 16 We disagree.

I

At the outset, we must determine the correct legal standards to apply to the facts as found by the trial court, particularly with regard to the alleged invalidity of Hossan-Maxwell, Inc . Indeed, the plaintiffs argue that recent federal case law has abrogated the rule of State v. Hossan-Maxwell, Inc., supra, 181 Conn. at 655 , 436 A.2d 284 , the controlling authority for evaluating a tying arrangement claim under Connecticut antitrust law, specifically General Statutes § 35-29. 17 Furthermore, the plaintiffs contend that General Statutes § 35-44b 18 grants this court the authority to analyze the validity of Hossan-Maxwell, Inc., in light of recent federal case law, particularly Jefferson Parish Hospital District No. 2 v. Hyde , 466 U.S. 2 , 104 S.Ct. 1551 , 80 L. Ed. 2d 2 (1984) ; 19 Concord Associates, L.P. v. Entertainment Properties Trust , 817 F.3d 46 (2d Cir. 2016) ; and Smugglers Notch Homeowners' Assn., Inc. v. Smugglers' Notch Management Co. , 414 Fed.Appx. 372 (2d Cir. 2011).

As an intermediate appellate court, we must follow the precedent established by our Supreme Court. As we have previously noted, "[o]ur duty is to follow controlling judicial precedent rather than base our decision on our own view or the popular view of what the law ought to be." State v. Thurman , 10 Conn.App. 302 , 316, 523 A.2d 891 , cert. denied, 204 Conn. 805 , 528 A.2d 1152 (1987). Moreover, in interpreting § 35-44b, our Supreme Court has concluded that "[o]ur construction of the [antitrust act] is aided by reference to judicial opinions interpreting the federal antitrust statutes.... Accordingly, we follow federal precedent when we interpret the act unless the text of our antitrust statutes, or other pertinent state law, requires us to interpret it differently ." (Citations omitted; emphasis added; footnote omitted; internal quotation marks omitted.) Westport Taxi Service, Inc. v. Westport Transit District , 235 Conn. 1 , 15-16, 664 A.2d 719 (1995). Our Supreme Court has further stated that " § 35-44b merely gave legislative imprimatur to what this court had been doing long before its enactment, namely, looking to case law construing relevant federal statutes as persuasive authority." Miller's Pond Co., LLC v. New London , 273 Conn. 786 , 809-810, 873 A.2d 965 (2005). Accordingly, we are bound by the decision of our Supreme Court in State v. Hossan-Maxwell, Inc., supra, 181 Conn. at 655 , 436 A.2d 284 . We, therefore, apply Hossan-Maxwell, Inc., as a controlling interpretation of § 35-29.

II

Having concluded that § 35-29, as explained and applied in Hossan-Maxwell, Inc., provides the governing standard to apply in the present action, we now consider whether the trial court applied it properly to the facts. We first set forth the standard of review that guides our interpretation of the antitrust act. "The scope of our appellate review depends on the proper characterization of the rulings made by the trial court. To the extent that the trial court has made findings of fact, our review is limited to deciding whether such findings are clearly erroneous. When, however, the trial court draws conclusions of law, our review is plenary and we must decide whether its conclusions are legally and logically correct and find support in the facts that appear in the record.... This court cannot retry the facts or pass upon the credibility of witnesses.... Furthermore, [o]ur function is not to examine the record to see if the trier of fact could have reached a contrary conclusion.... A finding of fact is clearly erroneous when there is no evidence in the record to support it ... or when although there is evidence to support it, the reviewing court on the entire evidence is left with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed.... Because it is the trial court's function to weigh the evidence and determine credibility, we give great deference to its findings."

Tying arrangements were made illegal by § 3 of the Clayton Act, which was enacted October 15, 1914; see 15 U.S.C. § 14 (2012) ; 20 after which General Statutes § 35-29 was patterned. "A tying arrangement is an agreement by a party to sell one product but only on the condition that the buyer also purchase a different (tied) product, or at least agree that he will not purchase that product from another supplier. Northern Pacific Ry. Co. v. United States, 356 U.S. 1 , 78 S.Ct. 514 , 2 L. Ed. 2d 545 [ (1958) ]." State v. Hossan-Maxwell, Inc., supra, 181 Conn. at 659 , 436 A.2d 284 . "Tying arrangements are among the small group of practices which courts have found to be unlawful in and of themselves; Northern Pacific Ry. Co. v. United States, supra, at 5 , 78 S.Ct. 514 ; International Salt Co. v. United States , 332 U.S. 392 , 396, 68 S.Ct. 12 , 92 L. Ed. 20 [1947] ; Elida, Inc. v. Harmor Realty Corp. , [ 177 Conn. 218 , 227-28, 413 A.2d 1226 (1979) ]. The justification for the per se approach is that [t]ying agreements serve hardly any purpose beyond the suppression of competition. Standard Oil Co. v. United States, 337 U.S. 293 , 305, 69 S.Ct. 1051 , 93 L. Ed. 1371 [ (1949) ]. Nonetheless, [it is only] when certain prerequisites are met, [that] arrangements of this kind are illegal in and of themselves, and no specific showing of unreasonable competitive effect is required. Fortner Enterprises, Inc. v. United States Steel Corp. , 394 U.S. 495 , 498, 89 S.Ct. 1252 , 22 L. Ed. 2d 495 [ (1969) ]. ... [T]ying arrangements [are] deemed per se illegal, whenever the party has sufficient economic power with respect to the tying product to appreciably restrain free competition in the market for the tied product and a not insubstantial amount of interstate commerce is affected. Northern Pacific Ry. Co. v. United States , supra, at 6, 78 S.Ct. 514 ." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) State v. Hossan-Maxwell, Inc., supra, at 660-61, 436 A.2d 284 . Because § 35-29 is based on § 3 of the Clayton Act, and § 3 of the Clayton Act only requires the party to prove either sufficient economic power or a " 'not insubstantial' " effect on commerce, a tying arrangement is illegal if either condition is met. 21 Id., at 661-62, 436 A.2d 284 .

A

An illegal tying arrangement may be found if the tying party "has sufficient economic power with respect to the tying product to appreciably restrain free competition in the market for the tied product." State v. Hossan-Maxwell, Inc., supra, 181 Conn. at 661 , 436 A.2d 284 . Market power exists when "the seller has some special ability ... to force a purchaser to do something that he would not do in a competitive market." Jefferson Parish Hospital District No. 2 v. Hyde , supra, 466 U.S. at 13-14 , 104 S.Ct. 1551 . The United States Supreme Court has made clear that "the standard of sufficient economic power does not ... require that the [seller] have a monopoly or even a dominant position throughout the market for the tying product." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) Fortner Enterprises, Inc. v. United States Steel Corp. , supra, 394 U.S. at 502 , 89 S.Ct. 1252 ; see State v. Hossan-Maxwell, Inc., supra, at 664, 436 A.2d 284 . Moreover, "[e]ven absent a showing of market dominance, the crucial economic power may be inferred from the tying product's desirability to consumers or from uniqueness in its attributes." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) Fortner Enterprises, Inc. v. United States Steel Corp. , supra, at 503, 89 S.Ct. 1252 ; see State v. Hossan-Maxwell, Inc., supra, at 664, 436 A.2d 284 . "[T]he proper focus of concern is whether the seller has the power to raise prices, or to require other burdensome terms such as a tie-in, with respect to any appreciable number of buyers within the market. In short, the question is whether the seller has some advantage not shared by his competitors in the market for the tying product." State v. Hossan-Maxwell, Inc., supra, at 664, 436 A.2d 284 .

In the present case, Woodland, the tying party, has imposed a tying arrangement upon all of the parcels that formed the Reserve, the tying product, by tying the purchase of any of the parcels to the purchase of Jeanette Haddad's and Scalzo Realty's brokerage services. This situation is similar to that in Hossan-Maxwell, Inc., where sixty-four subdivision housing lots had restrictive covenants requiring all purchasers to give exclusive sales and leasing rights to the named brokerage services for three months. 22 State v. Hossan-Maxwell, Inc., supra, 181 Conn. at 657-58 , 436 A.2d 284 . In Hossan-Maxwell, Inc., our Supreme Court found that, based on federal precedent and Connecticut case law on property characteristics, 23 the tying arrangement met the sufficient economic power test because the residential property was sufficiently unique that the tying party had some advantage in the market not shared by his competitors. Id., at 665, 436 A.2d 284 . Likewise, the record before this court supports the conclusion that the Reserve was sufficiently unique to infer that Woodland held sufficient economic power. The present action involves a substantially larger area of land than Hossan-Maxwell, Inc., with the Reserve being comprised of 546 undeveloped acres. Such a large area of undeveloped land is rarely available in the densely populated Northeast. Moreover, the Danbury Planning and Zoning Department granted flexible zoning for the Reserve, so that both residential and commercial buildings could be constructed. Thus, parcel 13 was zoned for residential development, and parcel 15 was zoned for commercial development. According to the proposed master plan, the "plan seeks to achieve a balance between residential, commercial and other uses, recognizing that the site is sufficiently large and physically diverse to accommodate a development of a new, cohesive residential community ...." This flexibility was intended to create a unique community where people both could live and work within a short distance.

Consequently, we conclude that the Reserve is sufficiently unique that the trial court logically could have inferred that Woodland restrained free competition when it required subsequent purchasers of property in the Reserve to use the brokerage services of Jeanette Haddad and Scalzo Realty, because that requirement forced such purchasers to use a brokerage service that they would not have used otherwise. In fact, representatives of the defendants testified, and the trial court found credible, that they did not want to use Jeanette Haddad and Scalzo Realty, and that the only reason they did use their brokerage services was that the tying arrangement compelled them to do so, for the defendants otherwise would have lost the opportunity to purchase parcel 13 and parcel 15. Accordingly, we conclude that the trial court logically determined that Woodland possessed sufficient market power over the Reserve, and, therefore, an illegal tying arrangement existed.

The plaintiffs contend that the defendants did not successfully prove that Woodland had sufficient economic power with respect to the Reserve because they did not establish the relevant market for the Reserve. According to the plaintiffs, the establishment of a relevant market is a critical component to an antitrust claim because it is required to evaluate the extent to which the plaintiffs exercised power. In Hossan-Maxwell, Inc., our Supreme Court did not find it necessary to identify the relevant market in which a unique property was situated when it determined that "the uniqueness of residential property is ... sufficient evidence of the market power possessed by the [tying party]." State v. Hossan-Maxwell, Inc., supra, 181 Conn. at 665 , 436 A.2d 284 . Moreover, in reaching its conclusion, our Supreme Court cited to United State s v. Loew's, Inc. , 371 U.S. 38 , 45 n.4, 83 S.Ct. 97 , 9 L. Ed. 2d 11 (1962), in which the United States Supreme Court, when discussing the appropriateness of inferring economic power from uniqueness, noted that "[s]ince the requisite economic power may be found on the basis of either uniqueness or consumer appeal, and since the market dominance in the present context does not necessitate a demonstration of market power in the sense of § 2 of the Sherman Act, it should seldom be necessary in a [tying arrangement] case to embark upon a full-scale factual inquiry into the scope of the relevant market for the tying product and into the corollary problem of the seller's percentage share in that market."

Furthermore, in Jefferson Parish Hospital District No. 2 , the United States Supreme Court made it clear that the establishment of a relevant market is not required when economic power is proven through a product's uniqueness. Specifically, it stated that "[w]hen the seller's share of the market is high ... or when the seller offers a unique product that competitors are not able to offer ... the Court has held that the likelihood that market power exists and is being used to restrain competition in a separate market is sufficient to make per se condemnation appropriate.... Thus, in Northern Pacific R. Co. v. United States , [supra, 356 U.S. at 8 , 78 S.Ct. 514 ], we held that the railroad's control over vast tracts of western real estate, although not itself unlawful, gave the railroad a unique kind of bargaining power that enabled it to tie the sales of that land to exclusive, long term commitments that fenced out competition in the transportation market over a protracted period." (Citations omitted.) Jefferson Parish Hospital District No. 2 v. Hyde , supra, 466 U.S. at 17 , 104 S.Ct. 1551 . Consequently, we conclude that the defendants did not have to prove a relevant market to succeed on their claim that the Reserve was sufficiently unique to meet the sufficient economic power test.

B

Alternatively, an illegal tying arrangement may be present when a "not insubstantial" amount of commerce in the tied product is restrained. 24 "The tying of brokerage services to the sale of residential development of real estate is automatically illegal under § 35-29 whenever a substantial volume of commerce in the tied product is restrained. ... The amount of commerce affected is not measured by reference to the size of the tied product market. ... [N]ormally, the controlling consideration is simply whether a total amount of business, substantial enough in terms of dollar-volume so as to not be merely de minimis, is foreclosed to competitors by the tie, for as [the United States Supreme Court] said in International Salt [ Co. v. United States , supra, 332 U.S. at 396 , 68 S.Ct. 12 ], it is unreasonable, per se, to foreclose competitors from any substantial market through use of a tying arrangement." (Citations omitted; internal quotation marks omitted.) State v. Hossan-Maxwell, Inc., supra, 181 Conn. at 662-63 , 436 A.2d 284 .

In the present case, the trial court found that "the market values of parcel 13 and parcel 15, and the commissions that would have been due to the plaintiffs upon resale or lease of the developed parcels, concerned a substantial amount of commerce in the tied market." The record before this court supports the trial court's finding. BLT paid $15 million for parcel 13, and, pursuant to the Woodland agreement between Woodland, Jeanette Haddad, and Scalzo Realty, Jeanette Haddad and Scalzo Realty were owed a 3 percent commission from the transaction. This calculates to a $450,000 commission. Moreover, paragraph eight of the purchase and sale agreement for parcel 13 includes language obligating BLT to enter into a listing agreement with Jeanette Haddad and Scalzo Realty, pursuant to which the two brokers would receive a 3 percent commission on any subsequent sale or lease of all or any portion of the parcel. After purchasing parcel 13, BLT received the approval of the Danbury Planning and Zoning Department to construct a rental apartment complex containing 470 units. With the units being rented for $1515 to $1910 a month, the total potential commerce involved for the first month of the initial lease of each unit is between $712,050 and $897,700, and the real estate commission foreclosed is between $21,361.50 and $26,931.

Moreover, Windemere paid $7 million for parcel 15, and, also pursuant to the Woodland agreement, Jeanette Haddad and Scalzo Realty were owed a 3 percent commission from the transaction. This calculates to a $210,000 commission for Jeanette Haddad and Scalzo Realty. Furthermore, paragraph eight of the purchase and sale agreement for parcel 15 included language obligating Windemere to enter into a listing agreement with Jeanette Haddad and Scalzo Realty, pursuant to which the brokers would receive a $1 million commission for their efforts to sell and/or lease the commercial office space that Windemere was intending to build on parcel 15. Thus, between parcel 13 and parcel 15, more than $1.5 million in brokerage fees was foreclosed, which is not a de minimis amount. See State v. Hossan-Maxwell, Inc., supra, 181 Conn. at 663-64 , 436 A.2d 284 ($60,800 was sufficient amount of money to meet "not insubstantial"

test). 25 Accordingly, we conclude that the trial court logically determined that, by restricting the pool of brokers for the sale and/or lease of the Reserve, the arrangement between Woodland, Jeanette Haddad, and Scalzo Realty restricted a "not insubstantial" volume of commerce in the Reserve.

The judgment is affirmed.

In this opinion the other judges concurred.
