  3. “[T]he unfairness of [the defendant's] conduct occurred in interaction among the partners within ACE. Plaintiffs were partners with [the defendant] in a single market participant.

Because [the defendant] unfairly and deceptively interacted only with his partners, his conduct occurred completely within the ACE partnership and entirely outside the purview of the [UDTPA].”
