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 (CCH) has introduced State Unfair Trade Practices Law, delivering authoritative coverage across 50 states in a monthly-updated, loose-leaf guide. ($595. To order or for more information, visit http://onlinestore.cch.com or contact your CCH Sales Representative at 1-888-224-7377.)

CCH, a leading provider of trade regulation and business law information, is the publisher of the nation’s leading antitrust and trade regulation law service, CCH Trade Regulation Reports.

"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.

State Unfair Trade Practices Law includes the full text of all state laws, state-by-state summaries and full-text court decisions, as well as features expert explanation and analysis of the law.
