U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 21a. Actions and proceedings pending prior to June 19, 1936; additional and continuing violations
Nothing herein contained shall affect rights of action arising,
or litigation pending, or orders of the Federal Trade Commission
issued and in effect or pending on review, based on section 13 of
this title, prior to June 19, 1936: Provided, That where, prior to
June 19, 1936, the Federal Trade Commission has issued an order
requiring any person to cease and desist from a violation of
section 13 of this title, and such order is pending on review or is
in effect, either as issued or as affirmed or modified by a court
of competent jurisdiction, and the Commission shall have reason to
believe that such person has committed, used or carried on, since
June 19, 1936, or is committing, using or carrying on, any act,
practice or method in violation of any of the provisions of said
section 13 of this title, it may reopen such original proceedings
and may issue and serve upon such person its complaint,
supplementary to the original complaint, stating its charges in
that respect. Thereupon the same proceedings shall be had upon such
supplementary complaint as provided in section 21 of this title. If
upon such hearing the Commission shall be of the opinion that any
act, practice, or method charged in said supplementary complaint
has been committed, used, or carried on since June 19, 1936, or is
being committed, used or carried on, in violation of said section
13 of this title, it shall make a report in writing in which it
shall state its findings as to the facts and shall issue and serve
upon such person its order modifying or amending its original order
to include any additional violations of law so found. Thereafter
the provisions of section 21 of this title, as to review and
enforcement of orders of the Commission shall in all things apply
to such modified or amended order. If upon review as provided in
said section 21 of this title the court shall set aside such
modified or amended order, the original order shall not be affected
thereby, but it shall be and remain in force and effect as fully
and to the same extent as if such supplementary proceedings had not
been taken.
