Bill > H385

This bill modifies the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act (Chapter 93A) by adding the phrase "or arbitration award" to two specific sections of the law. Specifically, in Section 9(3) and Section 11, the bill expands the existing language to explicitly include arbitration awards alongside judicial judgments. This change appears to clarify that arbitration awards, in addition to court judgments, can be used as a basis for certain legal proceedings or determinations under the Consumer Protection Act. The modification suggests an intent to broaden the scope of legal remedies and recognition of dispute resolution methods in consumer protection cases, ensuring that arbitration outcomes can have similar legal weight to court judgments in the context of unfair or deceptive practices.
