Unfair Sales Act
Maine · Mining · §§ 1201 to 1209 · 10 sections
Overview
The Unfair Sales Act governs competitive selling practices in trade, defining the terms it uses and declaring specified conduct in the sale of goods unlawful, subject to enumerated exceptions and limits on which transactions and sellers it reaches. Enforcement runs on two tracks: a person injured by a violation may sue in equity for relief, and violations are also subject to penalties pursued through ordinary court process. The act treats the sale of cigarettes separately from goods generally and provides for reporting in connection with its administration.
