The Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, popularly known as FDUTPA, was designed to protect consumers from fraudulent and deceptive trade practices. In a typical scenario, a Florida consumer would sue a company that transacts business in Florida over activities that occurred entirely in Florida.
A split, however, has emerged within the Florida’s District Courts of Appeal as to whether FDUTPA only protects Florida consumers, as opposed to foreign consumers. Concomitant with this issue are other questions, such whether FDUTPA applies to Florida companies that commit deceptive trade practices in other states, or to foreign parties that enter into a contract or other one-time transaction in Florida.
