Description
The parties will be referred to as they appeared in the trial court. Plaintiffs instituted this action pursuant to the Colorado Unfair Practices Act, C.R.S. 53, 55-2-1, et seq., seeking temporary and permanent injunctive relief against alleged violations of the Act. Following filing of the complaint which named all of the defendant oil companies as defendants, the matter was set for hearing on the several defendants motions to dismiss the complaint. After a lengthy hearing the trial court determined Section 3 of the Act to be so vague and indefinite that it failed to provide notice of prohibited conduct and thus violated the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. Plaintiffs thereupon elected to stand upon the complaint as filed and requested that a final judgment of dismissal be entered. They then obtained a writ of error and the matter is now before us on the propriety of the ruling that Section 3 is on its face so vague and indefinite as to be invalid.
