WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs ask jUdgment against Defendant for: (a) Actual damages in an amount to be proved at trial; (b) Compensatory damages in an amount to be proved at trial; (c) Punitive damages; (d) Appropriate injunctive relief; (e) Reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of suit; and (f) Further relief as this Court deems just and proper.
