Federal Case

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the NJCFA was designed to protect consumers, not those acquiring businesses, and so the law doesn’t apply to franchisees
• concluding that a complaint did not adequately plead a corporation’s principal place of business where it stated “a” principal place of business, thereby leaving open the possibility that it had “its” principal place of business elsewhere
• explaining that the \jurisdictional problem” was cured by \letters and supporting material submitted to this [C]ourt [on appeal]”
• holding commercial franchises are not covered by New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act because they are businesses and not consumer goods
• declining to follow Appellate Division decision in the face of “indications that the Supreme Court of New Jersey would not adopt the reasoning ... or apply the result” of the lower court decision
• identity of actor was not in dispute; rather, issue was whether the subsequent act occurred
