§ 57-12-10. Private remedies
A.
A person likely to be damaged by an unfair or deceptive trade practice or by an unconscionable trade
practice of another may be granted an injunction against it under the principles of equity and on terms that
the court considers reasonable. Proof of monetary damage, loss of profits or intent to deceive or take unfair
advantage of any person is not required. Relief granted for the copying of an article shall be limited as to
the prevention of confusion or misunderstanding as to source.
B.
Any person who suffers any loss of money or property, real or personal, as a result of any employment by
another person of a method, act or practice declared unlawful by the Unfair Practices Act [57-12-1 NMSA 1978]
may bring an action to recover actual damages or the sum of one hundred dollars ($ 100), whichever is greater.
Where the trier of fact finds that the party charged with an unfair or deceptive trade practice or an
unconscionable trade practice has willfully engaged in the trade practice, the court may award up to three
times actual damages or three hundred dollars ($ 300), whichever is greater, to the party complaining of the
practice.
C.
The court shall award attorneys' fees and costs to the party complaining of an unfair or deceptive trade
practice or unconscionable trade practice if he prevails. The court shall award attorneys' fees and costs to
the party charged with an unfair or deceptive trade practice or an unconscionable trade practice if it finds
that the party complaining of such trade practice brought an action which was groundless.
D.
The relief provided in this section is in addition to remedies otherwise available against the same conduct
under the common law or other statutes of this state.
E.
In any class action filed under this section, the court may award damages to the named plaintiffs as
provided in Subsection B of this section and may award members of the class such actual damages as were
suffered by each member of the class as a result of the unlawful method, act or practice.
