Consortium Info. Services v. Experian Info. Solutions
Consortium Information Services, Inc. (Consortium), asserted causes of action against Experian Information Solutions, Inc. (Experian), for (1) intentional interference with prospective economic advantage, (2) trade libel, (3) common law unfair competition, (4) unfair competition in violation of the California unfair competition law, Business and Professions Code section 17200 et seq. (UCL), and (5) violation of the Cartwright Act, section 16700 et seq. The trial court sustained without leave to amend Experians demurrer to Consortiums third amended complaint on the grounds that each cause of action was time-barred and that Consortium failed to allege facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. Consortium appealed from the resulting judgment of dismissal (Consortium does not challenge dismissal of the third cause of action, for common law unfair competition).
Court are concluding only that the complaint alleges facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action and are not commenting on the merit of Consortiums claims. The judgment is reversed and the matter remanded for further proceedings.
