3729 REVIEW DENIED In deciding whether a defendant sold to wholesalers below cost to injure competition in violation of the Unfair Practices Act, the court should consider sales to the wholesale market rather than overall sales; the Act may be violated by giving secret benefits to some wholesalers but not to others; giving special benefits to some wholesalers in return for agreements not to do business with plaintiff is a combination in restraint of trade that violates the Cartwright Act; requiring purchasers of a service to purchase other services or products from the same seller does not violate the "tying" provisions of the Cartwright Act.CitationFISHERMAN'S WHARF v SUPERIOR COURT (Cruise Competition) 114 CA4 309 [See: B&PC 16700 etseq, 17200 etseq, 17043; Matsushita v Zenith 475 US 574; Western Union v First Data 20 CA4 1530, T/AT 2/94; ABC v Matsushita 14 C4 1247; Redwood Theatres v Festival 200 CA3 687]
