Detroit Auto Dealers Association, Inc.; Analysis To Aid Public Comment

Краткое содержание

In settlement of alleged violations of federal law prohibiting unfair or deceptive acts or practices and unfair methods of competition, this consent agreement, accepted subject to final Commission approval, would require, among other things, the eleven remaining dealerships in the FTC's case against the Detroit Automobile Dealers Association (DADA) to be bound by the terms and provisions of an existing 1995 Commission order, with certain modifications. The original complaint alleged that DADA and a large number of its member automobile dealers violated federal antitrust laws when they illegally conspired to limit competition in the sale of new cars in the Detroit area by closing dealerships on Saturdays and most week nights.
