In the case of Robert and Janet McKeage, a $75 charge by Tracker Marine Boat Center cost the Springfield company more than $21.7 million.
The McKeages, of St. Clair, won a class-action suit against Tracker Marine, a subsidiary of Bass Pro Shops, seeking damages for unlawful charges in the form of “document fees” slapped on to boat, trailer and recreational vehicle purchases, according to The Missourian. The McKeages were charged $75 in 2008, but the document fees applied range from $25 to $150.
According to the suit, document fees are an “unauthorized practice of law in Missouri since the 1950s” when created by someone not licensed to practice law.
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the damages on Tracker Marine sales dating back to 2004.
