Case Synopsis
In an opinion drafted by Justice Cadish, the Court clarifies whether a plaintiff has the standing to assert a deceptive trade practice claim under NRS 41.600(1) when the plaintiff never purchased or used products manufactured by the defendant. The Court found that a plaintiff has standing as long as they can show they are directly harmed by the deceptive trade practices of the defendant. Additionally, it found that the plaintiffs pleaded sufficient facts, including that they were directly harmed by the petitioner’s false and misleading advertising. Thus, the Court denied the defendant’s petition for writ relief.
