Senate approves class action bill to aid consumers in fraud suits
The Senate Commerce Committee endorsed a bill allowing class action lawsuits by consumers with minimum losses of 10 dollars, aiming to curb merchant fraud. The measure, backed by Chairman Magnuson, faces Judiciary review and a likely floor vote, amid opposition from the Nixon administration and lobbying by various groups.
