Earlier this year, the New Jersey Supreme Court in Allen v. V & A Brothers, Inc., 208 N.J. 114 (2011), ruled on the question of whether officers, owners, managers and/or employees of businesses providing services to consumers can be sued individually (alongside the company) and be held personally accountable for statutory violations under New Jersey’s Consumer Fraud Act, N.J.S.A. § 56:8-1 et seq.

Nov. 1, 2011), provided some guidance on how that ruling will apply in construction cases.
