Unfair and Deceptive Acts and Practices: 3.4.1 The Statute
The first source of guidance in a UDAP case is the statute itself. All state UDAP statutes are summarized in Appendix A, infra. Practitioners should not rely on this summary of their own statute, though, but must scrutinize the full text of the statute’s most recent version. They also must have the version of the statute that was in effect at the time of the challenged practice.
