Simon Passanante attorney featured in Missouri Lawyers Weekly

April 10th, 2008 by admin

Simon Passanante attorney John Campbell was featured in the article “Consumer laws a boon to class action plaintiffs,” which appeared in the April 7 issue of Missouri Lawyers Weekly.

The front-page story discusses class action lawsuits that make use of the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act. The state consumer protection law, also known as an unfair and deceptive businesses practice statute, allows plaintiffs to sue for defective products or services.

In the past three years, Simon Passanante has used the law to file suits against payday lenders, Charter Communications, debt adjusters and a Colorado dairy that allegedly mislabeled its milk as organic.

Campbell told reporter Allison Retka, “The reason the UDAP statutes are so useful is that they don’t require individual proof of reliance or intent to rely because, as you can imagine, if you had to prove that, you could never really have a class action.”
