OPINION OF THE COURT
Kristin Booth Glen, J.
This case presents important questions concerning the scope of sections 349 and 350 of the General Business Law (prohibiting deceptive practices and false advertising), standing to sue for violation of those statutes, and the applicability of First Amendment protection to an insurance industry advertising campaign which purports to tie rising insurance costs to "the Lawsuit Crisis.” These issues arise on a motion to dismiss the complaint brought by defendant Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.) pursuant to CPLR 3211 (a) (7).
