Document:
Review was granted in Wisdom v. Accentcare, Inc. The Court of Appeal invalidated an arbitration agreement as unconscionable and expressly criticized the result reached in Roman. The case was covered on this blog here.
Review was granted in Rose v. Bank of America. The Court of Appeal held that a UCL "unlawful" prong claim could not be based upon alleged violations of the federal Truth in Savings Act, 12 U.S.C. § 4301 et seq.
Review was granted, and the matter held, in Aleman v. Airtouch Cellular (December 21, 2011). The "lead" case for which Aleman was held is Kirby v. Immoos Fire Protection, Inc. The issue for review in Aleman is likely the portion of Aleman concerning one-way or two-way fee recoveries.
On a petition for review, review was granted in In re Cipro Cases I & II. This case is one to follow if you practice in the area of anti-competitive behavior. There's a big dash of pre-emption thrown in, along with some procedural questions about a trial court's obligation to rule on evidentiary objections at summary judgment.
On a petition for review, review and depublication were denied in Collins v. eMachines, discussed on this blog here. The Court of Appeal held that “injury in fact” can be satisfied by alleging as damages the difference between the actual purchase price and the fair market value of a defective product.
Brinker news! The submission of the matter is vacated and additional briefing is requested. Wait. You thought that a decision was imminent after oral argument? So precious! This is BRINKER we are talking about. Your children will be writing supplemental briefs for this decision. The California legislature will have withdrawn and re-enacted an entire Labor Code before a decision is rendered (at which point it will again be vacated for briefing on the impact of changed law retroactively).
The downside of this news is that I will need to create a 2012 edition of my Brinker News graphics.
