Pet Dealers Association of New Jersey, Inc. v. Division of Consumer Affairs, Dept. of Law and Public Safety, State of New Jersey
New Jersey Superior Court, Appellate Division
373 A.2d 688 (1977)
Relevant factsFree
New Jersey's Attorney General, exercising authority under the Consumer Fraud Act, enacted pet-adoption regulations giving consumers broader remedies than those available under the Uniform Commercial Code. The Pet Dealers Association of New Jersey (plaintiff) sued the state's Division of Consumer Affairs (defendant), arguing that because the regulations offered additional remedies beyond the UCC, they conflicted with and were invalidated by the UCC. The trial court rejected that argument.
IssueFree
Whether a state anti-fraud regulation that provides relief broader than the relief available under the Uniform Commercial Code conflicts with the Uniform Commercial Code.
