S 1315 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Bars certain limitations on number of consumer contract claims that are allowed to proceed at same time.

This bill prohibits consumer contracts from restricting the number of similar claims that can proceed together in a legal case. It applies when claims are related (e.g., multiple consumers with the same issue under one contract) and are handled by the same lawyer or coordinated legal teams. The law ensures consumers can pursue joint claims without being blocked by contract terms, covering all legal processes like court cases or arbitration. This change aims to streamline resolution for consumers facing identical issues under the same agreement.
