Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act
Maine · Mining · §§ 1211 to 1216 · 6 sections
Overview
The act governs unfair and misleading commercial conduct, defining a set of practices in trade or business — such as misrepresenting goods, services, or their source — that are treated as deceptive. Its principal mechanism is private injunctive relief: a person likely to be damaged by another's deceptive trade practice may ask a court to order that the conduct stop, on whatever terms the court finds reasonable. Because it is a uniform act, it is meant to be read consistently with the versions enacted in other states.
