  1. Penermon v. Wells Fargo Home Mortgage

    MOTION and [Proposed] Order to Dismiss the Complaint Pursuant to F.R.C.P. Rule 12

    Filed January 13, 2014

    Id. at *19-22; see also Hamilton v. Greenwich Investors XXVI, LLC, 195 Cal. App. 4th 1602, 1616-17 (2011), the Court of Appeal rejected the plaintiffs’ attempt to state a section 17200 claim based on an alleged violation of Civil Code section 2923.5 and stated “…plaintiffs cannot properly allege they lost money or property ‘as a result of’ defendants’ alleged violation of section 2923.5 (Bus. & Prof. Code, § 17204)…”).

  2. Ramkissoon v. AOL LLC

    Memorandum in Opposition re Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings

    Filed April 6, 2010

    See Motion at 14 n.13. The CLRA, FAL and UCL each provide for restitution as a possible remedy, see Cal. Civ. Code § 1780(a)(3); Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 17535 & 17204), and “restitution” is “[a] body of substantive law in which liability is based . . . on the defendant’s unjust enrichment” (Black’s Law Dictionary 1339 (8th ed. 2004)). AOL’s argument that Plaintiffs’ claims “fail” because they seek restitution, see Motion at 13 n.13, confuses available remedies with required elements under those statutes. Neither case cited by AOL supports its contention that Plaintiffs must “quantify the portion of their fees that AOL is retaining unjustly.” Id.

Bus. & Prof. Code § 17204; see also Medina v. Safe-Guard Prods.Int’l, Inc., ___ 7

  4. Charlotte Docken v. Petmatrix, Limited Liability Company

    NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTION to Dismiss Second Amended Complaint

    Filed October 6, 2016

    “To satisfy the narrower standing requirements imposed by Proposition 64, a party must (1) establish a loss or deprivation of money or property sufficient to qualify as injury in fact . . . and (2) show that that economic injury was the result of, i.e., caused by, the unfair business practice . . .” Kwikset, 51 Cal. 4th at 322 (emphasis added); see also Troyk v. Farmers Group, Inc., 171 Cal. App. 4th 1305, 1348 (2009) (“[T]he phrase ‘as a result of’ connotates an element of causation (i.e., [Plaintiff Docken] lost money because of [Defendant’s] unfair competition).”); Quadrant Info.
