Issues: (1) Whether a district court can award monetary
relief under Section 13(b) of the Federal Trade Commission Act, consistent with
separation of powers principles; and
(2) whether a monetary disgorgement award
under Section 13(b) of the FTC Act is a penalty and therefore
outside a district court’s inherent equity powers.
