New Mexico Statutes Chapter 58. Financial Institutions and Regulations § 58-16-15. Civil liability

A. A cardholder who is authorized to engage in transactions through or by means of remote financial service units may bring a civil action against a person violating the Remote Financial Service Unit Act for an amount equal to the sum of any actual damages sustained by the cardholder. Upon adverse adjudication, the defendant shall be liable for actual damages or fifty dollars ($50.00), whichever is greater, together with court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the plaintiff. The court may provide such equitable relief as it deems necessary or proper, including enjoining the defendant from further such violations of the Remote Financial Service Unit Act. If it appears to the court that the suit by the plaintiff was ill founded or brought for purposes of harassment, the plaintiff shall be liable for court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the defendant.

B. In the case of a class action, no minimum recovery for each member of the class shall be applicable and the total recovery in any such action is limited to the actual damages sustained by the members of the class but shall not exceed the lesser of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) or one percent of the net worth of the defendant.
