New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act and Case Law

The New jersey Consumer Fraud Act and the relevant cases are covered in this section.  The most important case is Cox v. Sears because the Supreme Court reinvigorated the Consumer Fraud Act with this case/analysis.

As a general matter the act is to be liberally construed because it is remedial leglslation enacted for the benefit of the consumer.  Many cases have required this analysis under the act and the Administrative Code sections.  Litigating this area of law can be complex and required an intennsive understanding of the case law and the Administrative Code.
