Defending Price Gouging in Orlando
Defense Lawyer for Price Gouging Charges
Have you or your company been accused of price gouging under Fla. Stat. 501.160? You may have received a subpoena or preservation of evidence letter requesting you keep certain records because you or your business are under investigation by the Attorney General for price gouging.
Under Fla. Stat. 501.160, during declared State emergencies such as hurricanes and tropical storms, businesses cannot gouge consumers or charge an unconscionable amount for essential commodities such as:
- Lumber
- Gas
- Water
- Food
- Ice
- Essential provisions
Likewise, hotels and motels cannot increase their prices so they are disproportionate to their normal prices. Significant criminal and civil penalties can result and fines of $10,000 and more can be imposed.
