Contingent Obligations
TJX is a party to various agreements under which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain losses related to matters including title to assets sold, specified environmental matters or certain income taxes. These obligations are sometimes limited in time or amount. There are no amounts reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets with respect to these contingent obligations.
Contingencies
TJX is subject to certain legal proceedings, lawsuits, disputes and claims that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. In addition, TJX is a defendant in a lawsuit brought as a putative class action on behalf of a group of current and former salaried and hourly associates in the U.S. The lawsuit alleges violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and of state wage and hour and other labor statutes. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees. TJX has accrued immaterial amounts in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for certain of its legal proceedings.
