Plantier v. Ramona Municipal Water District

(Supreme Court of California) - Clarified the procedure for challenging a local governmental agency's decision to impose or increase property-related fees.

Wilson v. Cable News Network, Inc.

(Supreme Court of California) - Affirmed in part and reversed in part. Plaintiff filed suit for employment discrimination, retaliation and defamation. Defendant filed an anti—SLAPP motion, Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16.

w

White v. Square, Inc.

(Supreme Court of California) - The issue is whether or not California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act can be used to bring a claim against a business when the Plaintiff visits the business’s website with the intention of using its services only to be allegedly denied full and equal access to its services and then Plaintiff leaves without entering into an agreement with the service provider.
