On May 19, 2020, Geoffrey Kozen presented at a Hennepin County Bar Association webinar “Price Gouging During Emergencies”. This CLE webinar discussed the structure and effectiveness of state emergency price-gouging laws. The presentation covered examples of the major types of price-gouging laws, how private suits and suits brought by enforcers differ, issues that may arise when attempting to model damages and prove causation, and the appropriateness of such claims for class treatment. Finally, it looked at weaknesses that this pandemic has revealed in the efficacy of such statutes, alternative litigation under consumer protection statutes, and ways they could be shored up in the future.
