Law Chapter 4
United States vs. Basic Construction Company
Cheyanna Roberts12-6-12
![Page 50: Law Chapter 1 Midterm Review](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062306/56816414550346895dd5c702/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
The Background- This appeal came from a conviction from the
violation of section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1. The defendants, Basic Construction Co., Henry S. Branscome, Inc., and Henry Branscome, were charged with conspiring in April of 1978 to rig a bidding for state road paving contracts.
- 2 lowered level ,angers rigged bids by giving competitors the prices that basic would bid for work
![Page 51: Law Chapter 1 Midterm Review](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062306/56816414550346895dd5c702/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
The Basics Basic's principal contention is that the district court
gave erroneous jury instructions regarding the criminal liability of a corporation for acts of its employees. With regard to corporate liability, the court instructed the jury as follows:
legally bound by the acts or statements of its agents done or made within the scope of their employment, and within their apparent authority, acts done within the scope of employment and acts done on behalf of or to the benefit of a corporation, and directly related to the performance of the type duties the employee has general authority to perform.
The act of an agent is within the scope of his employment or within the scope of his apparent authority, the corporation is held legally responsible for it. This is true even though the agent's acts may be unlawful, and contrary to the corporations [sic] actual instructions.
![Page 52: Law Chapter 1 Midterm Review](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062306/56816414550346895dd5c702/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
The Courts Thought The Courts opinion is that “the corporation can be
responsible for the action of its agents done or made within the scope of their authority, even though the conduct of the agents may be contrary to the corporation's actual instructions, or contrary to the corporation's stated position”. “But, However, the instructions and policies, if any be shown, may be considered by you in determining whether the agents, in fact, were acting to benefit the corporation”.
![Page 53: Law Chapter 1 Midterm Review](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062306/56816414550346895dd5c702/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Evidence The basics introduced evidence which would have tended that
it had a longstanding, well known, and strictly enforced policy against bid rigging.
Also that bid rigging activities were charged and was perpetrated by two relatively minor officials and were done without the knowledge of high level corporate officers.
Basic argues that, in light of this evidence, the district court should have instructed the jury that it could consider the evidence of Basic's antitrust compliance policy in deciding whether the company had the requisite intent to violate the Sherman Act.

The Decision All the evidence of the court finds them guilty of the
crime. Also finds them to be criminally liable
