Questão jurídica principal
Whether the 1994, 1995 and 1997 mailings contained misleading statements under Art. 3 lit. b UWG
Decisão extraída
The November 1994, January 1995 and November 1995 forms were misleading under Art. 3 lit. b UWG because they suggested an existing contractual relationship and an invoice debt.
Fundamentação extraída
The forms were designed to look like invoices and used reference numbers, payment rubrics and unclear reply forms. The corrective hints were too hidden and could be overlooked by ordinary recipients.
