Technology v. BBCN Bank CA4/3
This is an appeal following the trial court’s decision to sustain a demurrer to plaintiff C.C. Technology, L.P.’s (CCT) second amended complaint for national origin discrimination under the Unruh Civil Rights Act (Civ. Code, § 51.5; the Unruh Act) and unfair business practices (Bus. & Prof. Code, § 17200; the UCL) against defendants BBCN Bank (BBCN) and related entities. In sum, CCT, which is an entity owned by Vietnamese individuals or persons of Vietnamese origin, alleged that BBCN, a Korean-owned entity, discriminated based on national origin. The court ultimately sustained BBCN’s demurrer on the grounds that the statute of limitations had expired. As we shall explain, we reject CCT’s various arguments as to why its claims did not accrue or were not discovered until much later, and agree with the trial court that the statute of limitations bars this action.
