An Excerpt from the Keynote
Speech at the OROCC Conference
Average ORC case value swells over last three years -
as reported in the Daily The average case value
over the last three years: in 2012 it was $460K, in 2013 it was $987K, and this
year it's $1.9M, which is getting close to the NRF's recent ORC survey showing
the average case value being $2.8 million, with 13% of retailers estimating the
value to be more than $5 million. But remember this is only representative of
what is publically reported by the news and courts and obviously offers a very
restricted and controlled view of the problem. But with 26 states having ORC
laws and more and more reporters learning about ORC themselves by reporting on
it and seeing it in the courts, we'll continue to see these reports increase
over time, which give us a much better tool to measure actual court cases.
