News reports and pract...UCL - competitor actions

Bob Egelko of the San Francisco Chronicle had this article in yesterday's paper on the Court of Appeal's opinion last week in Law Offices of Mathew Higbee v. Expungement Assistance Services, ___ Cal.App.4th ___ (Mar. 14, 2013).

Higbee is a UCL competitor action and the opinion is quite interesting.   From the article:

A state appeals court has reinstated a lawyer's suit against a companyoffering cut-rate legal services, ruling that - despite a voter-approvedlaw limiting unfair-competition suits - a business that's beingundercut by a rival's practices can still seek redress in court.

I will have more on the opinion in a later post.
