Bill overview
This bill revises the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act by clarifying the individual cause of action for consumers who have suffered a loss due to unlawful practices. It allows courts to award up to three times the actual damages suffered, while also establishing a requirement for consumers to notify sellers of their claims before filing suit. The bill also clarifies that technical violations of the act will not result in attorneys’ fees and specifies that the act applies only to residents and transactions within New Jersey, excluding federal regulations.
