How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- finding that conduct was “consumer-oriented” because it was “not unique” to the plaintiffs, was not “private in nature” and not a “single shot transaction”
- \single shot transaction[s]\ are not contemplated by the consumer protection provisions
- dismissing a Section 349 stemming from a dispute over a rental of Shea Stadium for a concert on the grounds that “the deceptive practices this statute seeks to combat involve recurring transactions of a consumer type”
- negotiation for rental of Shea Stadium was a “single shot transaction,” not a typical consumer transaction and therefore not covered by section 349
- “The typical violation contemplated by the statute involves an individual consumer who falls victim to misrepresentations made by a seller of consumer goods …”
- Section 349 inapplicable because of, inter alia, the “large sums of money” involved
