Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 51, § 300.13. Violations; private actions; costs awarded by court

A. Any violation of this Subpart shall be a deceptive and unfair trade practice pursuant to R.S. 51:1405 and shall subject the violator to any and all penalties and private actions provided in Chapter 13 of this Title.
