A federal judge has rejected efforts by international hotel chain Wyndham Hotels and Resorts to throw out a proposed class action lawsuit against it over claims that its website didn’t tell customers the full cost of their reservations before booking.
U.S. District Judge Mark R. Hornak of the Western District of Pennsylvania on Wednesday denied claims by the hotel chain that the plaintiff did not suffer any actual losses as outlined in New Jersey’s Consumer Fraud Act, or the state’s Truth-in-Consumer Contract, Warranty and Notice Act—a contentious law governing e-commerce disclaimers that has recently been causing a headache for retailers.
