An act or practice is unfair when it (1) causes or is likely to cause substantial injury to consumers, (2) cannot be reasonably avoided by consumers, and (3) is not outweighed by countervailing benefits to consumers or to competition. Congress codified the three-part unfairness test in 1994.
Utah's Unfair Practices Act was enacted to “safeguard the public against the creation or per- petuation of monopolies and to foster and encourage competition, by prohibiting unfair and discrimi- natory practices by which fair and honest competition is destroyed or prevented.”
The Utah Unfair Competition Act is one of the most vital pieces of legislation in regard to unfair competition contracts. The Act prohibits several types of agreements, including those that restrain trade and those that unlawfully interfere with a person's business interests.
The Utah Labor Commission is the regulatory agency responsible for protecting the health, safety and economic well-being (i.e., wage, labor or anti-discrimination) of employees and employers.
Utah employees also sue their employers for breach of an employment contract or under the public policy exception to the employment at-will doctrine.
Utah state law defines wrongful termination as the dismissal or firing of an employee for an illegal reason, which may violate federal anti-discrimination laws or breach of contract.
