James F. Kavanaugh, Jr. was quoted in the
Boston Business Journal (March 17-23) in an article entitled "
Bay State bill takes on frivolous consumer lawsuits." The article concerns a bill sponsored by Associated Industries of Massachusetts which would require plaintiffs to prove they suffered actual monetary damages for a M.G.L. c. 93A suit, and bar class action lawsuits based on consumer protection violations. Mr. Kavanaugh pointed out that
Hershenow v. Enterprise Rent-A-Car Co. of Boston, a case decided in January 2006 by the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, highlights the damages issue.
