Thompson v. American Tow Service
Baywood Service Center and American Tow Service are competing towing companies in the City of Petaluma. Baywood brought suit against American under the unfair competition law (Business and Professions Code, section 17200 et seq.) after American entered into a towing agreement with the City which Baywood believed violated state law regulating police department vehicle tows. After a bench trial, Baywood obtained declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as attorney fees. American contends that Baywood lacks standing, that the action is moot, that the Citys towing agreement provides a safe harbor from liability under the unfair competition law, and that the trial court erred in awarding attorney fees. Court affirm.
