OBRIEN, v. CAMISASCA AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURING, INC., PART - I
Plaintiff Lawrence OBrien brought this putative class action lawsuit against defendants Camisasca Automotive Manufacturing, Inc. and Volkswagen of America, Inc. (Volkswagen), alleging defendants violated the Unfair Competition Law (Bus. & Prof. Code[1] (the UCL)), the False Advertising Law (the FAL),[2] and the Consumers Legal Remedies Act (the CLRA)[3] by falsely representing that the license plate frames defendants offered for sale were Made in USA. The trial court granted defendants motions for summary judgment on the ground that OBrien did not have standing under Proposition 64s amendments to the UCL and the FAL. The amendments authorize a lawsuit under those statutes only by a person who has suffered injury in fact and has lost money or property as a result of a violation of these acts.
