TRUMP UNIVERSITY LAWSUIT UPDATES
On November 18, 2015, the Court issued an Order primarily denying Donald Trump and Trump University’s Motion for Summary Judgment. The Court dismissed plaintiffs’ claims for injunctive relief, but otherwise denied Defendants’ motion for summary judgment, holding that the case may proceed to trial on Plaintiffs’ claims for:
(1) Violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law (“UCLâ€),
(2) California’s False Advertising Law (“FALâ€),
(3) California’s Consumers Legal Remedies Act (“CLRAâ€),
(4) Financial elder abuse under California law, Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code Section 15600
(5) Violation of New York’s consumer protection statute, Section 349 of NY’s General Bus. Law
(6) Violation of Florida’s consumer protection statute and elder abuse law, Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (“FDUTPAâ€) and Misleading Advertising Law (“MALâ€)
So what!
In business you win some and you will definitely lose some. As long as you win more than you lose is all that matters.
If this is being tried in California, Trump’s net work is going to take a significant hit. California has some of the toughest consumer protection laws in the country.
