FTC V. STANDARD OIL CO. OF CALIFORNIA
449 U.S. 232 (1980)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over an FTC complaint that companies engaged in
unfair business practices.
FACTS: The FTC leveled charges against eight oil companies (D) that they had engaged in
unfair methods of competition in connection with the OPEC oil boycott during the late 1970s.
Ds moved to dismiss the complaint asserting that is had been filed as a result of political
pressure from Congress, the commission failed to develop information that might sustain its
charges, that the charges had no basis in fact, and that the statutory requirement of reason
to believe has not been satisfied. The commission denied the motion and Ds sought judicial
review of the commission's refusal to dismiss the complaint.
