Description

Injuries to Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota are too remote to provide standing for a tort action based upon a theory of "assumed special duty" against defendant tobacco companies. However, given the broad statutory grants of standing applicable to certain consumer protection statutes, it does have standing to pursue relief for violations of deceptive trade practices, false advertising, and unlawful trade practices statutes. Also, by virtue of "associational standing," Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota has standing to pursue equitable relief.
