They should have pulled the trigger

A guns a funny thing...: Should they have? Depends on what they felt their chances or the FTC's chances were without offering a "formal" warning to 180Solutions.

What do I mean? Despite the numerous complaints by consumers and despite all of the video supporting the problems people have had with 180Solutions, how would a court view the case?

That is my question. I'm not a legal expert by any means, but a court of law is supposed to be a "Last Resort". The CDT's action would have given them the ability to state "All avenues were tried prior to court".

I have to assume that the reason a complaint wasn't filed with the FTC is that the CDT felt there was still an "out" present for 180Solutions and that filing a complaint and pursing legel action may not have had the desired affect (possibly setting a bad precident via a loophole?).

I'd be interested in someone who has a legel background and a better understanding of the court system to comment.

My hope...is that the CDT was being cautious and avoiding a possible out for 180 and not just trying to avoid court time.; Posted by: aquias2000@... Posted on: 10/13/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
