New Jersey A3186 revises the consumer fraud act by limiting damages and fees for technical violations and requiring notice to sellers before suit.
New Jersey A3186 amends the consumer fraud act by limiting the award of attorneys' fees, filing fees, and costs of suit for technical violations. A "technical violation" is defined as any violation where the person acted in good faith, with no intent to defraud, and the violation did not impact the quality of the product or service or result in an ascertainable loss. The act also requires consumers to serve a written demand on the seller to make them whole before filing suit, or they will lose the right to secure threefold damages.
