Summary

The Federal Trade Commission can ask a court to stop someone who is doing or about to do an act that sections 70a, 70c, 70d, 70g, or 70h(b) say is illegal. The FTC must have reason to think the act will happen and believe stopping it helps the public. The court order can last until the FTC files a complaint under the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 41 et seq.) and that complaint is dismissed or overturned on review, or until an FTC cease‑and‑desist order becomes final.
