Misleading or Deceptive Conduct

Misleading or deceptive conduct occurs when a person or business provides false, inaccurate, or unclear information that misleads others about a product, service, or situation. This behavior influences decision-making, such as purchasing a product or entering a contract, based on incorrect assumptions. Laws against such conduct aim to protect consumers and fair trading by ensuring honesty and transparency in business practices. Engaging in misleading conduct can result in legal penalties, refunds, or other remedies to address the harm caused.
