CCH State Unfair Trade Practices
Law Helps Meet Challenge Of State Law Compliance
(RIVERWOODS, ILL., October 5, 2000) From pawnshops to major business
suppliers, insurance companies to makers of faulty tires, almost every business runs the
risk of being sued under state unfair trade practices laws (SUTP), putting both the
financial health and good reputation of a company in jeopardy. But for companies doing
business in multiple states, keeping up with diverse and ever-changing unfair trade
practices laws is a considerable challenge.
To help companies avoid losses that can devastate their business, CCH INCORPORATED

"Companies that do business in multiple states need to understand the laws that
apply to them in order to avoid costly litigation, as well as maintain a competitive
advantage within the legal parameters set by a state," said CCH Trade Regulation
Publisher John W. Arden, JD, LLM. "They also need to know how to use these laws in
disputes with other companies.
Attorneys who specialize in consumer, unfair trade or deceptive practices law, as well
as corporate counsel for companies that may be targets for suits, will find State
Unfair Trade Practices Law to be an invaluable resource," Arden added. "This
single volume offers comprehensive coverage across all states in one place allowing you to
quickly access and compare SUTP laws in multiple jurisdictions."
Comprehensive Coverage, Easy Access Across States
While SUTP laws, also known as "little FTC Acts", were originally intended
to be an individual consumer's basic remedy against any unfair or deceptive
trade practices by a business, many state statutes have been expanded to protect
businesses who are also consumers in business-to-business transactions. As the remedy
becomes more widely available and more broadly applied, businesses need a comprehensive,
authoritative source of information that provides fast answers.
