1Opinion of the Court
Kaplan, Mitchell H., J.
Plaintiff Lustig, Glaser & Wilson, P.C. (LGW) is a law firm that represents clients in connection with the collection of consumer debts. The defendant Massachusetts Division of Banks (the Division),1 among other things, is charged with the regulation of debt collection. See G.L.c. 93, §§24-28. This case arose out of a dispute regarding the Division’s interpretation of G.L.c. 93, §24, and whether firms like LGW were debt collectors within the meaning of that statute. The case is before the court on the Division’s motion to dismiss on the grounds of mootness.
