Affirmation of Finding of Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practice
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe petitioner, challenging a regulatory finding that their actions constituted an unfair and deceptive trade practice, contended that the administrative law judge erred in interpreting the governing statute and that certain evidentiary findings were unsupported. The court reasoned that the agency's interpretation of the statute, which prohibited practices likely to mislead consumers acting reasonably under the circumstances, was reasonable and consistent with precedent, and that the evidence, including expert testimony and consumer surveys, sufficiently supported the finding that the petitioner's conduct was likely to mislead. Therefore, the court affirmed the agency's decision upholding the finding of an unfair and deceptive trade practice.
