Description: A high percentage of commercial disputes include claims based on the prohibition of misleading or deceptive conduct. It is a versatile legal claim and, as a result, there is a large body of case law dealing with the prohibition's operation in a wide range of apparently disparate factual and legal settings. Practitioners need a detailed and specific knowledge of this provision. --
