Oliver v. Alta Los Angeles Hospitals
Defendant and appellant Alta Los Angeles Hospitals, Inc. (Alta) contends it was error to award statutory damages and attorney fees to plaintiff and respondent Christopher Oliver under the Unruh Civil Rights Act (the Unruh Act) (Civ. Code, § 51 et seq.), where the jury found Alta denied Oliver full and equal services, but Alta’s conduct was not a substantial factor in causing Oliver harm. Oliver contends that because harm is presumed, the court correctly awarded him statutory damages and attorney fees under section 52, subdivision (a). We affirm.
