Requires Administrative Office of the Courts to collect and publish statistical information about consumer debt lawsuits.
This bill requires New Jersey's court system to track and publish annual statistics on consumer debt lawsuits, including new filings by court division, pending cases over three months, whether defendants have lawyers, and case outcomes like judgments or dismissals. It directly affects courts (which must collect the data), consumers facing these lawsuits, and lawmakers (who receive the reports). The statistics will cover all key metrics listed in the bill, such as default judgments and case dispositions, to provide transparency about a civil case type currently not tracked separately in court reports. This creates a standardized data source to help understand patterns in debt collection litigation.
