Sbaiti & Company PLLC’s Christopher L. Ayers Co-Authors New Treatise on the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act

Sbaiti & Company is proud to announce that Christopher L. Ayers, Co-Chair of the Firm’s Mass Tort Practice Group and Chair of the Consumer Protection Practice Group, has co-authored a newly released treatise published by LexisNexis focused on the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act.

The treatise is a practical guide to the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, clarifying its scope, the conduct it regulates, and how it fits within broader state and federal law.

It provides in-depth analysis of available remedies including benefit of the bargain damages, diminution in value, lost profits, out of pocket losses, injunctive relief, attorneys fees, and statutory penalties. It also addresses key liability concepts such as ascertainable loss, joint and several liability, corporate officer exposure, comparative negligence, and the economic loss doctrine to support effective claim evaluation and risk assessment.

On the procedural side, the book covers pleading standards, burdens of proof, class actions, statutes of limitation, and tolling, along with strategic analysis of defenses including arbitration, choice of law, estoppel, and other affirmative defenses relevant to early motion practice and settlement strategy.

Overall, the treatise is intended to serve as a concise, practice focused resource that may help streamline research and support more efficient and informed litigation strategy in matters arising under the CFA.

Mr. Ayers’ work on this treatise reflects his extensive experience handling complex consumer protection and mass tort matters, as well as his commitment to contributing to the development of practical legal resources for the bar.

We congratulate Mr. Ayers on this significant professional accomplishment.

The treatise is available through LexisNexis: https://store.lexisnexis.com/en-us/products/new-jersey-consumer-fraud-act-practice-and-procedure.html
