                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

UNINTENTIONAL VIOLATIONS (§ 59.1-207)

In any case arising under this chapter, no liability shall be imposed upon a
supplier who shows by a preponderance of the evidence that (i) the act or
practice alleged to be in violation of § 59.1-200 or 59.1-200.1 was an act or
practice of the manufacturer or distributor to the supplier over which the
supplier had no control or (ii) the alleged violation resulted from a bona fide
error notwithstanding the maintenance of procedures reasonably adopted to avoid
a violation; however, nothing in this section shall prevent the court from
ordering restitution and payment of reasonable attorney&#8217;s fees and court
costs pursuant to § 59.1-204 B to individuals aggrieved as a result of an
unintentional violation of this chapter.
