Overview
This bill changes how lawsuits under New Jersey’s Consumer Fraud Act can be filed, requiring plaintiffs to demonstrate they acted like a reasonable consumer and that the alleged wrongdoing would mislead others. It also limits the amount of attorneys’ fees that can be awarded in these cases, ensuring they are proportional to the judgment and based on the time spent, rather than a fixed percentage.
