FTC Commissioners Vote to Deny Motion by the Agency’s Staff Seeking Summary Decision Against Intuit

Excerpt:  “FTC Commissioners voted to deny a motion by the agency’s Bureau of Consumer Protection seeking a summary decision against Intuit Inc. for engaging in allegedly deceptive advertising of its TurboTax tax preparation service. In an Opinion and Order issued today, the Commission expressed concerns about the advertising campaign but determined that a decision on the merits of the case against Intuit ‘would be best made after fuller factual development at trial’ which will proceed before FTC Administrative Law Judge D. Michael Chappell.”
