The Props: 64 -- NOLimit on Private Enforcement of Unfair Business Competition Laws

In an attempt to gut California's vital consumer protection laws, Big Business is exploiting the natural outrage inspired by the exploits of gang of unethical lawyers who exploited a loophole in those laws to bully small businesses into settling fraudulent claims without a fight. Big corporations too often engage in exploitive, unfair and dishonest business practices and, despite the good intentions of some public regulators, it is ultimately the threat of lawsuits by private attorneys that keeps many corporations on the straight and narrow. The law firm that is the justification for this proposition is out of business, by the way, and the attorneys have all been disbarred. Prop 64 is a bad idea. NO.
