New York's Consumer and Small Business Protection Act expands prohibited business practices to include unfair and abusive acts.

The Consumer and Small Business Protection Act amends New York's general business law to expand prohibited business practices to include unfair and abusive acts. It defines unfair acts as those causing substantial injury that is not reasonably avoidable and not outweighed by countervailing benefits. Deceptive acts are those that mislead or are likely to mislead a person whose interpretation is reasonable under the circumstances.
