  FTC Office of the General Counsel - About
Where the Commission has determined in an adjudicatory proceeding that a practice is unfair or deceptive and has issued a final cease and desist order, the Commission may also obtain civil penalties from non-respondents who thereafter violate the standards articulated by the Commission.
In lieu of attacking unfair or deceptive practices by administrative adjudications against individual respondents, the Commission may use trade regulation rules to remedy unfair or deceptive practices that occur on an industry-wide basis.
As the preceding section illustrates, even where the Commission determines through adjudication or rulemaking that a practice is unfair or deceptive, the Commission must still seek the aid of a court to obtain civil penalties or consumer redress for violations of its orders to cease and desist or trade regulation rules.

 Sun judge says ‘unfair business practice’ key to Microsoft injunction | The Register
But perhaps the most important revelation was Judge Whyte's comment that "The court finds that negotiating for or enforcing the… licensing terms constitutes an unfair business practice.
Microsoft does not argue that these licensing provisions bear any utility which outweighs the harm asserted by Sun." The "unfair business practice" identified by Judge Whyte was Microsoft's requirement that its licensees must use and distribute only Microsoft's version of Java.
This result is of major consequence for the Washington trial because the practices that Microsoft has used against Java are at the core of the DoJ's accusations against Microsoft.

 California Employers Who Hire Illegal Aliens May Soon Be Sued for Unfair Business Practices
"Honest business owners and hard-working Americans are the forgotten victims of unenforced laws against illegal immigration," said Klehm.
The employers we represent are not asking for any special breaks; they just want to be able to compete for business on a level playing field." The Federal Immigration Reform and Enforcement (FIRE) group, creator of the WeHireAliens.com website, has also played a crucial role in identifying scofflaw employers.
According to Klehm, honest California businesses have lost billions of dollars over the years as a result of being undercut by competitors that employ illegal aliens.
