PRODUCT NEWS

New Smart Chart for CCH Consumer Credit Guide (Internet)

Gift Card coverage has been added to the topics that can be researched and displayed in Consumer Credit Smart Charts, which enable multijurisdictional research of a subject with links to relevant laws, regulations and explanations.

 

The Gift Cards Smart Chart focuses on state gift card laws relating to fee and expiration date restrictions and disclosure requirements. Types of cards and instruments covered and excluded by state law are also included.

 

Gift cards continue to grow in popularity and are projected to continue to increase in volume. As a result, many states have regulated what terms and conditions can be imposed upon a user of a gift card by the issuer.

 

The Consumer Credit Card Gift Card Topics Smart Chart supplements the four previously issued Topics Smart Charts (interest-usury, retail installment sales, home solicitation sales, credit card charges and fees), as well as the four Consumer Credit Quick Reference Smart Charts (predatory lending, payday lending, title loans and refund anticipation loans) and the Consumer Credit Legislative Developments Smart Chart.

 

New Smart Chart for CCH State Unfair Trade Practices Law Reporter (Internet)

This new Smart Chart on “Standing and Types of Actions Permitted” focuses on three of the major issues in the area of law—who may file private actions under the state laws, whether there is a private right of action for damages, and whether there is a private right of action for injunctive relief. These issues are threshold issues in a potential suit, since some states do not allow private actions and others limit them to those brought by consumers, excluding competitors and other third parties. This chart is quite comprehensive, citing case law in addition to linking to both the text of the laws and the “state summary page,” a chart in the reporter. This is the fourth Smart Chart added to the Antitrust and Trade Regulation tab on the CCH Internet Research NetWork since August.

 

White papers and memos included with CCH Federal Securities Law Reporter

and Federal Securities Regulation Integrated Library

A collection of white papers and analysis authored by CCH Principal Analyst James Hamilton, J.D., LL.M., on significant developments in federal and international securities law is now included with the Internet format of the CCH Federal Securities Law Reporter as well as the CCH Federal Securities Regulation Integrated Library. There no extra charge to subscribers for this additional content.

 

Previously available only on a temporary basis, these white papers are now accessible in a single permanent archive, in both text-searchable and PDF format. The link to this database appears in the Securities tab on the CCH Internet Research NetWork under the “Current Developments” blue bar. It will be updated periodically as warranted by regulatory developments.
