Unfair or Deceptive Business Practices Questions & Checklist

When someone accuses your business of deceptive practices or if you believe that a compeititor has engaged in unfair and deceptive acts and practices, you need to seek a lawyer as soon as possible. Your lawyer can help you understand the Federal Trade Commission Act Section 5 (also known as Section 5 FTC or simply the Unfair Practices Act), which governs unfair and deceptive acts and practices. Your lawyer will need to understand the identity of your adversary, the nature of the deceptive practice claim, and any actions taken or complaints filed with regards to this matter.
