AMALGAMATED TRANSIT UNION v. SUPERIORCOURTOFLOS ANGELESCOUNTY PART II
Under Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act and unfair competition law, an individual's statutory right to sue in a representative capacity may not be assigned to a third party. Sec. 17203 of the unfair competition law, as amended by Proposition 64, providing that representative claims may be brought only if the injured claimant "complies with Section 382 of the Code of Civil Procedure," means that private representative claims must meet the procedural requirements applicable to class action lawsuits.
