Continuing our extensive thought leadership on the wave of class action litigation brought in New Jersey state and federal courts under the Truth-in-Consumer Contract, Warranty and Notice Act (TCCWNA), McCarter partners Edward J. Fanning, Jr. and David R. Kott, acting on behalf of our client the New Jersey Defense Association, will appear as amicus curiae before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in connection with Russell v. Croscill Home LLC, which is currently before the Court. Specifically, Mr. Fanning will argue that plaintiffs should be barred from filing broad TCCWNA class action claims in the absence of any real harm beyond an alleged violation of the statute.
