The Massachusetts Consumer Protection Statute, M.G.L. c. 93A, is one of the most powerful tools available to litigators in Massachusetts. The ability to assert that a party has committed an unfair and deceptive act or practice can suddenly transform an ordinary case into high-stakes litigation by introducing the possibility of recovering double or treble damages as well as attorneys' fees. Knowing how and when to bring a Chapter 93A claim (and conversely, how to defeat such a claim) is essential to maximizing advantageous outcomes for clients.
This presentation focuses on all aspects of Chapter 93A litigation from both plaintiffs' and defendants' perspectives, highlighting the key nuances and potential pitfalls of which litigators should be aware when presented with a case where such a claim may be appropriate.
