Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether a company has fair notice under the Due Process Clause

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether a company has fair notice under the Due Process Clause that it is barred from engaging in certain speech under a state consumer protection act, when the language of the relevant act is hopelessly vague, and the state attorney general previously indicated that such speech was not barred under the act and did not take any action for a number of years after learning the full scope of the company’s business. 2. Whether the First Amendment tolerates a state consumer protection act which bars speech by individuals who are not members of a particular profession on a particular topic without regard to whether the speech is misleading or deceptive. @)
