OPINIONS OF THE SUPREME COURT
FILED WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2019
NOTICE - MEDIA RELEASE TIME IS 10:00 A.M.
A18-1485 State of Minnesota, Respondent, vs. Chance Dechristian Adams, Appellant.
Hennepin County.
The district court did not clearly err in concluding that the State’s asserted reason for striking an African American prospective juror was not a pretext for purposeful discrimination.
Affirmed. Justice David L. Lillehaug.
A17-1740 State of Minnesota, Appellant/cross-respondent, vs. Minnesota School of Business, Inc., d/b/a Minnesota School of Business,
et al., Respondents/cross appellants.
Court of Appeals.
1. In a case brought by the Attorney General under Minn. Stat. § 8.31, subd. 3a (2018), and his parens patriae power, a causal nexus under the Minnesota Consumer Fraud Act between fraudulent and misleading statements and harm caused to consumers may be established without proof of direct evidence of reliance by each consumer. Evidence showing longstanding, pervasive, and widespread false statements about the nature of a product, that those statements were made with an intent to induce reliance, and that the fraudulent statements are of the kind a consumer would be expected to rely upon under the circumstances are relevant to show that a causal nexus has been established.
2. The district court did not abuse its discretion by ordering restitution and fashioning a restitutionary remedy and claims process.
Affirmed in part, reversed in part. Justice Paul C. Thissen.
Concurring in part, dissenting in part, Justice G. Barry Anderson and Chief Justice Lorie S. Gildea.
