In any action brought under subsection
(c)of section 35-32 or seeking treble damages under section 35-35 , a defendant:
(1)May not assert as a defense that the defendant did not deal directly with the person on whose behalf the action is brought; and
(2)May, in order to avoid duplicative liability, prove, as a partial or complete defense against a damage claim, that all or any part of an alleged overcharge ultimately was passed on to another person by a purchaser or a seller in the chain of manufacture, production or distribution that paid the alleged overcharge.
